MBR1210 used as Cell phone repeater?

Hi,
our turbo hub is currently not set up. Decided to go with a different ISS. My question: The turbo hub receives it's signals from the same cell phone tower and 3G network as our cell phones, provider for the cell phones is the same as the ISS.
Can the MBR1210 be used as a repeater for the cell phone signal as well, or better say 'instead'?
If so, which settings would I need?

We do get cell phone signal to the house, but it seems to weak for one of our Smart phones. The plan is to have a repeater in the house for better cell phone reception.
