A subscriber must have the consent of a wireless provider to operate a Consumer Signal Booster. Subscribers
may obtain provider consent in a variety of ways. For example, AT&T, Sprint, T–Mobile, and Verizon Wireless
have voluntarily committed to allow their subscribers to use properly certificated Consumer Signal Boosters (i.e.,
boosters that meet the new rules) on their networks. Also, a signal booster manufacturer could seek
authorization for use of a particular booster model on behalf of all subscribers of individual providers.
Alternatively, a provider may specify a testing protocol that if satisfied would result in licensee consent to
specific booster models. A subscriber may also seek a licensee’s express consent to operate a signal booster,
e.g., by phone call or e-mail

Sprint Nextel will allow consumers to register their signal boosters by calling their toll-free number.
They have already trained their calling center and have designated an engineer to handle inquiries. They may
eventually allow consumers to register on their website but they want to gauge how the process works via
phone first.
