The cheapest mobile phone booster available in the UK would only cover one UK network, now there is a cheaper booster on the market, the Huaptec range, that has the capacity to cover all UK networks. The Huaptec Hiboost Hi10-3s Pro, retails at £679 and if you use our code ‘Dave50’ at checkout you can buy it for £629 from Mobile Signal Solutions. This booster is a low powered but very effective, cheap, home mobile phone booster, which is legal and available to buy in the UK. The Huaptec HiBoost 3s Pro is on the list of compliant mobile phone boosters for use by Ofcom.
The Huaptec Hi-10 3s Pro is the cheapest UK booster for a few reasons, mainly because the manufacturer is not overly charging for what is essentially a good piece of equipment. If we compare Cel-fi, for an all network booster solution, would mean buying 4 separate amplifiers which could cost anything between £4,000 to £5,000, Stella, another Irish brand, would be in the region of £1,800 to £2,200 for a similar device.
The Huaptec 3s model is not only the cheapest legal booster, it also has a lot of technical features that make it easy to set up. There is automatic calibration inside the booster that ensures you get the best performance, your only job will be to point the outside aerial in multiple directions until you get the best input signal.
This booster may be the cheapest compliant solution, which means it meets all the technical standards set out by Ofcom and Comreg with noise controls such as automatic gain control to ensure it does not operate at a higher level than necessary.
As the cheapest mobile booster, it does have one disadvantage, it has only 3 channels, the 900MHz, 1800MHz and the 2100Mhz. This means it can cover all networks voice and 3G but not 4G. For EE customers the good news is that even though it is the cheapest booster in the UK, it will cover EE 4G as well as voice on the 1800MHz.
For o2 and Vodafone customers, the cheapest mobile phone booster is still the Hi-10 3s from the Huaptec booster range, which will cover voice calls but will not cover 4G data and 5G is not an option on the 3s booster.
The cheapest Three booster is also the Huaptec Hi10-3s, the advantage for Three customers is that most of the Three network is on 2100MHz which is boosted by the 3s booster, so even though it is the cheapest mobile booster for Three it has the band that is important for nearly all Three customers, as the 2100MHz is over 90% of the Three network infrastructure.
| Range | Huaptec Hi10-3S | Huaptec Hi10-4S | Huaptec Hi10-5S |
| 700MHz | No | No | Yes |
| 800MHz | No | Yes | Yes |
| 900MHz | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 1800MHz | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 2100MHs | Yes | Yes | Yes |
For the majority of customers who have wifi for their data and are concerned only with voice calls the 3s is a good device and is an effective booster with a 10dB power level, up to 60dB gain and can cover an open plan area up to 500 sq meters, its real coverage rate is closed to 50 square meters and is ideal for home offices and small open plan areas like apartments.
For those looking for the best value and most popular mobile booster we recommend the Hi10-4s Hi Boost booster, which is also from Huaptec. It has all that the cheaper 3s model offers, plus it has the extra 800MHz band which is key for 4G in the UK. The 4s model usually retails at approximately £765 and is about £100 more expensive than the 3s.
