We used these guys for a solution. The people using it are very happy with the results. Works for all cellular networks. Might be worth your while inquiring.

They're not
It's hard to get a provider like MTN or Vodacom to do it themselves though. Last I saw MTN do it for farms that have an MTN monthly bill above a certain Rand amount.
Edit: Not sure if I misread the previous posts. Repeating a network operator's signal is illegal, nothing wrong with antennas themselves.
Fitted an “Alltone” unit inside a shop in Wynberg. Prior to fitting this, the cellular service was poor, calls seldom connected.
It was a bit fiddly setting it up, had to move it around the room a bit as the direct line of sight to a cellular mast did not achieve the best result
It was well worth the cost (about R10000) and everybody is pleased. The shop owner had asked Vodacom to assist but all that occurred was many promises but no action
These unit cost about R13000 today. There are different models that seem to do the same thing

I had a cell signal booster before since my house is in a dead cell reception zone and it was pretty useless.
Using MTN VoWifi on my Samsung phone has been a game changer, perfect signal everywhere there is wifi - luckily I have fibre.

Well, technically I can make perfect voice calls vs none at all, so that's really all that matters innit?
