 Product does what it says it does November 4, 2008
This product does what it is advertised to do. It will take an acceptable outside signal and bring it inside. It does not create or boost the outside signal and the range inside might be less than you hoped. Works great for a single office but I doubt you'll be satisified for an 1800+ sq ft home.
I used it to get good signal into my basement home office and it works great for that. Before I couldn't hold a call for more than a minute without dropping and now I can hold a 2 hour phone call with only minor signal issues. Used to have 0-1 bars and now have 2-4 bars.
Also be aware that the outside antenna must be 12 or more feet higher than the inside transmission unit or they will interfere with each other.
If you take these caveats in mind and it still meets your needs you will be satisfied.
Works November 3, 2008
I used to have to stick my head up to the window in my office to talk on my cell phone...now I can just sit in my chair...much better believe me! Boosted my signal 2-3 bars...more important, my iphone now works fine where before it would barely stay connected on a call.
 It works...kind of. October 6, 2008
I bought this item for my new apartment because the signal here is weak. I loose a lot of calls but there is good signal next to the window. I set the box up, but the instructions say it needs 15 feet of VERTICAL clearance between the base unit and the antenna. I separated them as much as I could; however, it would only work while I was standing right next to the base unit. maybe a 3' to 4' radius. If you can set the antenna on the roof, 15 or more feet above the base unit it might work. I sent the item back, and Amazon gave me a full refund.
Carefully assess your living situation September 8, 2008
I live in a bottom-floor apartment surrounded by many trees and in a fairly dead zone for my Sprint PCS 1900 MHz service. I have tried many antenna and base combinations, including mounting the antenna outside of my building, and can not see much difference in the performance of my phone. It seems (but I may be wrong about this) that the booster only boosts the *incoming* signal from the cell phone tower, but does not boost the *outgoing* signal from your phone. A such, I am able to hear my caller clearly, but they can not hear me clearly, and my calls still frequently drop when my phone and the tower lose communication. I believe that this product would work in a place where you have open air for the signal transmitted by your phone to be properly received by the tower. The tower is much more sensitive than your phone. For places that are heavily obstructed by trees, buildings, walls, etc., I would not recommend this product.
 Works great for me. August 8, 2008
I have been fighting poor signal strength for a couple of years now for my business. It got worse when I moved into a metal siding and roof building for my office. The only way to get the phone to work was to hang it in the window or outside and use bluetooth to receive calls with my headset. In my business a call could be several thousand dollars in business and missed calls may mean opportunity for my competition. This was a small investment comparitavely. Even better than advertising. I now get 4 bars sitting at my desk where before I had zero. I plan to mount the antenna to a piece of pipe to get it even higher but it works very well as is with the antenna mounted on the highest point on the side of the building. I highly recommend this product. It works especially well for me since I don't need reception to extend very far from the base unit.
