I don't know. Probably have to enquire. Such devices are implemented widely in a lot of indoor places like schools, colleges, auditoriums, etc.
I don't know how amplifying a publicly available spectrum band to a limited private space (home) is illegal. Sounds silly.
Say I boosted two or three of the spectrum bands that Airtel has been awarded through the auction process. If I am boosting the signal for personal reasons (meaning not reselling the spectrum by offering it commercially), in a private residential setup (our home), in order to access Airtel's own network, I don't see the legal issue of misappropriation of spectrum?
If I were to use that spectrum for another purpose, than that would be illegal.

The cost of installing a signal booster would be more than getting a Vowifi supported phone. My 2 year old Realme1 supports Vowifi for both Airtel and Jio, simultaneously.
 
It's dicey in my case. Even having a tower nearby gives me pathetic speeds, at night I am less than 1 MMbps. Sometimes the speed spikes to 10-20 Mbps and after another speed test goes to 2-3-4 Mbps.

Maybe it's their 4g priority support which is causing some absurd reading in my case.
 
Well. My solution is too costly but works well for me.

I have a Mikrotik router that supports connecting my mobile via USB (tethering). I keep both the router and the (unused) mobile at the first floor of my house where I have direct line of sight with the nearest Airtel tower.

These days MikroTik has some models with built in LTE capability. All we need is a SIM. However, with a mobile phone, I can enjoy CA and other LTE features that are not available with built in MikroTik LTE modem.
 
I have those cheap mobile booster at house. Brought from AliExpress few years back.
Honestly only good for 2g/3g voice calls.
Hopeless in data speeds and volte calls.
Stopped using it after vowifi.

When I contacted a mobile operator they suggested me to pay for the equipment and they will just sanction it. He said as long as the company sanctions it it is legal even if I purchase my own equipment.

Which operator can you let me know? I asked jio and they did not had much idea about it
 

unapproved one and i am not using it now.
My neighbors here and there also using unapproved one sold by local sellers here and they are costly too.
