   Since Tracfone is useless as far as their customer service telling me   
   the frequency of my cellphone, I looked it up online.   
      
   I know Tracfone uses Verison.   
      
   Verison Wireless is listed as:   
      
   SYSTEM: 850 MHz, 1900 MHz, 1.7/2.1 GHz, 700 MHz   
   TECHNOLOGY: CDMA, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, 4G LTE   
      
   That only confused me more....   
   Which is it? 850mhz, 1900mhz, 700mhz, or 1.7/2.1 ghz?   
      
   My goal is to purchase a cellphone booster to put on my roof. I cant get   
   a decent signal indoors. The brands that cover ALL frequencies are way   
   overpriced at about $500. Thats NOT gonna happen. I'd go back to a   
   landline before paying that much, since I really dont need a cellphone   
   all that much anyhow, and i only have a flipphone. No smartphones for   
   this old guy.   
      
   Anyhow, the lower priced boosters (under $100), are frequency specific.   
   But according to WHICH of those numbers??????   
      
   Also, what the heck is all that stuff on the second line mean?   
   "TECHNOLOGY: CDMA, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, 4G LTE"   
      
   What is CDMA CDMA2000????   
   What the heck is 1xEV-DO   
   and isnt 4G just something for data?   
   (My flipphone dont do internet or use data).   
      
   Looking on ebay, i notice many of them boosters say CDMA (whatever that   
   means).   
      
   They sure make this complicated.  Its 100X more complicated than radios.   
      
   No wonder us elderly people cant use them damn worthless smartphones....
