With the exception of what I said in what's not so great, the small booster works fantastic. It was easy to install. I did contact my cell provider as everyone advised me to, however, later found out I didn't need to. Depending on where you are located (ie valley or just flat land will decide how high you will need to locate your external antenna. My is only 5" above the house and works great. I am totally pleased. Overall price was okay.

Easy to install the product and it has helped our reception at our remote location but not quite as well as I anticipated. Over all I am happy with it.

I connected the cables to the base and sat the antenna in a different room in a window to test it out. It worked so well I just left it that way! It improved my phone reception by three bars and the moble network went from edge to 4G in 15 minutes without any outdoor installation. I'll be able to put it in a box and set it back up in a few minutes when I move or let someone try it out where they live. This is a must have if you have poor reception. "Works Great".

Makes signal a little stronger but, I don't feel it is worth the cost. I would only recommend it if you have a really week signal. Directions for installation are vague.

Received my unit today and installed it as recommended. The reason for purchase is my home is on the fringe of the local tower and my home has aluminum siding.
After installation I checked the signal before plugging the unit in. In front of windows the signal was 1 bar. Within the home it was less. After plugging the unit in I now have 4-5 bars throughout my two-story home. I can now get rid of my land line. This is great since their service fee just raised again. I'm very happy with the results, especially since I purchased the unit as a weekly deal at a $100 discount. Makes me feel smarter than staying at a Holiday Inn Express:-)
