How To Determine What Frequency Your Cell Phone is On

[SolidSignal_Katie]

There are two common frequency bands that all cell phone carriers use. The Cellular band commonly referred to as 1900 uses the frequencies1850-1990. The other band is PCS which is the 800 MHz band uses frequencies in the 824-894 range. Most of our cellular phone signal products work on one or the other.

1. Go to www.WirelessAdvisor.com, enter your zip code and click “search”.

This will pull up a list of all the cell phone service carriers in your area.
A. If your carrier has only one listing then you’ll find the frequency in the highlighted field after “SYSTEM:”



B. If there are two listings for your carrier, one for 800 MHz and second listing for 1900 MHz then your carrier operates on the 800 MHz band.




Important Notes:
If you are not sure which frequency range your cell phone operates on based on the information provided by Wireless Advisor, we suggest that you go with a "Dual Band" cell phone repeater such as the zBoost YX510-PCS/CEL from Wi-Ex.
