I only have 2 spots that fluctuate signal when I had about 80% dead zone prior to the install. ..." Read Full Review »

"Used inside my home. Boosted my cell phone reception when I was within four feet of the amplifier unit and only when the receiver antenna was outside. According to the web advertisement, I thought I was going to get 3000 sq foot coverage; that is, coverage in most areas of the house, but that was not the case..." Read Full Review »

"this thing ROCKS. In a cement strip mall we went from one half bar/0 bars to 4 or 5 bars on a motorola cell phone. haven't tried it for boosting wi-fi strength. Don't expect it to preform miricals. If you are in a completely dead area or cant get the external antenna outside it may not do anything. …"  Read Full Review »

"Recently the cell service in my area declined dramatically. My family had only 4-5 months earlier switched to cell service in leu of a land line.

"I needed this unit to get a good enough signal for a Skype use as I run a business from my motor home.



This is a great unit to increase bars on our cell phone and Air card.
