Cell Phone Signal Booster for All Carriers

Our verizon signal has been really bad for the 5 years that we have been out here in East Texas at our farm. We bought a $30/month satellite phone with HughesNet to get good service. Then, we bought this booster, and we now have 3 and 4 bars on our iPhones. The product specs say up to 4500 sq. ft. of coverage, but then they specify according to outside signal strength. We only get the minimal of about 800 sq. ft. coverage inside. But, we are happy with that. We have good coverage in our den, which is where our computer is and our TV and where we spend most of our time. I started calling relatives 300 miles away, and we talked for 30 minutes without the disruptions that we had previously experienced with our Verizon cell phones. The hardest part is installing the outside antenna. I put it outside my door and placed it on a tree to face the cell phone tower, and it worked fine. All 3 LEDs lit up green with total 65 dB boost. Now I have to wire it through the wall and mount the antenna onto the roof. My temporary setup has the outside antenna about 35 feet from the inside antenna. They say to keep them about 50 feet apart, but it is working fine at 35 feet. I looked up other products that could cover more sq. ft., but they are all based on the outside signal. My wife wanted me to return this product and get one that would cover more sq. ft. in the home. When I looked them up, I found the same signal boost from a product twice the price. So, I don't know. We decided to stay with this product. It works great. We have twice the signal strength now, and that was what we wanted in the first place. Update 3-21-2021 I finished the project the next day, threading the antenna wire through a hole in our brick wall that I had drilled years ago for our home security camera system. Luckily, one end of the antenna wire has a small connector, about 3/8 inch diameter. The other end is about 3/4 to 1 inch diameter, which would not fit through our cluttered 2-inch hole, which has 8 coax cables in it already. The included 50-foot extension wire worked fine. It went around a corner and up to the high point of the roof. I couldn't flush mount it to point upwards because of the shingles, so I mounted it pointing downwards. I wasn't sure if that side of our house was pointing exactly westward to the cell phone tower 8 miles away. When we plugged it all in, it seemed to work even better than the temporary setup, which was 4 feet off the ground. The antenna is now 20 feet high and about 35 feet away from the inside antenna. One other thing that worried me was which way to point the antenna. This side or that side. Apparently it does not matter. I had it point both ways, and each way worked fine. I just pulled my iPhone out of my holster and checked the bars. I'm at my computer about 4 feet from the inside antenna. It shows 3 bars. Then, I walked to the inside antenna and held my phone up to it, and it showed 4 bars. Not bad considering my previous number of bars was zero.

Purchased for my new house that gets 1 bar or less of cellular coverage (Verizon) and lots of dropped calls. Setup of the antenna itself and indoor hardware is pretty easy - just plug and go. My only complaint is that I spent about an hour or two trying to get their app to work to calibrate/point the antenna in the right direction. As far as I can tell it is entirely broken and I gave up. I did find an iPhone app that could tell me the general location of the nearest towers on a map, plugged their coordinates into google maps, and then used that to get a general bearing. I get about 40-60 mbps down (plenty for streaming movies, browsing the web, etc.) and 1-2 mbps up (I’d like more but again, plenty for general purpose web use) The latency is pretty good as well, around 50-60 ms. If I wanted better upload speeds I would need to purchase a more powerful and directional antenna like the Bolton long ranger, but for a single channel cheap antenna I think this would will be fine for now.

Easy to install and works great I am buying a second one to have in my personal car the first one went in my dump truck and works amazing

After reading most of the positive reviews we thought we would give it a try. Its pretty straight forward on installing and using. We usually read a lot of the reviews both good and bad before making a purchase. So before drilling holes in my fascia boards, in my ceilings and crawling around the attic on insulation. We decided to do a trial run to see if we received a better signal. First we assembled and downloaded everything per instructions. We located the inside antenna in our kitchen / living room (thats where that antenna would have been mounted) then run the cable to the outside antenna out the back door up onto the roof (this is roughly 35 foot ish). We then opened the app to locate the cell tower, and powered up the amplifier. I was on the roof pointing the antenna towards the tower, my daughter was at the back door asking my wife if the signal improved. We know where the tower is located about 2 nautical miles from our house. With that being said we do not have a eye view of the tower, there are a few tree lines and a couple hills blocking a direct view. At no time did the cell signal improve inside our home. We usually have 1 or 2 bars inside our home and 2 or 3 bars outside. I double and triple checked my hookup to make sure all the coax was properly hooked to the correct sides of the amplifier, I also verified all the green lights were on. I even drove to the cell tower to make sure there was no maintenance work or something that might explain why no signal improvement. A lot of the positive reviews people are saying they are as far as 12 miles from a tower in the desert or even in the mountains without a direct view of a cell tower and had an improvement in cell signal. However there are also many reviews with the results we had no signal improvement. In my opinion I really can not recommend this product simply for the fact too many people are having the same problem receiving a dead unit or defective unit, and that is what I believe we received. Good luck if you decide to give this a try maybe you will have better luck.

I'm in a very rural mountainous area surrounded by forest in TN & barely had a signal -120dBm or worse. (Verizon 4G) Now in same room as antenna (living room) I have in the -90 dBm range, -80s on a good day... not tremendous, but a tremendous improvement from what I had! (signal strength is logarithmic) No more dropped calls & can actually send & receive pictures by text now! I installed antenna onto a 10ft pole & attached it to the top of my chimney (2 story house) & had just enough cable to get to my basement across joists & up to living room wall. I tried installing the indoor antenna in the adjacent bedroom in an effort to get coverage in more rooms of house, but the signal dropped too much by the time it got to living room & kitchen areas where I needed it most. I actually drove around my area while watching my signal strength until I visually located my cell tower, then went on google earth to get a "line of site" from my house so that I had an idea which direction to initially aim the outdoor antenna. Those cell tower location sites don't give accurate locations... in my case they were several miles & degrees off & said my tower was in the next town... not ! It's important to use your phone's actual signal strength reading (in settings, not looking at bars) to aim outdoor antenna as accurately as possible. After install, I had wife relay readings from living room by walkie talkie while I aimed antenna on chimney. Be patient because signal varies second by second due to atmospheric changes, trees swaying & tower usage at any given moment.

Works as advertised, "but be warned". You will more than likely have to purchase a longer coax cable unless you are very fortunate and can mount the antenna within about 20 feet of your dead spot. They are lucky I gave them 3 stars because it is sneaky and dishonest to give you a 20 cable when they know that you will need more than that in most circumstances. Especially when the instruction manual states "mount on pole above roof line".

Ok...I hardly ever write reviews..really. In this case I felt compelled because I am so impressed with the results. I have struggled for the past 6 years since moving into my house in the country with little to no cell signal...having to go outside...dropped calls...no service at all at times..I was so frustrated. Tried switching carriers with no improvement. I was hesitant to spend what seemed like a lot of money on this booster but I was so frustrated and out of options that I decided to give it a try. I also figured if it didn't work I could always return it with Amazon's no hassle policy. Well it has now been a few weeks and this product does not disappoint. Here is what I did. Before starting installation, I first downloaded the free "open signal" app from the app store. On the opening page of this app click on the bottom right arrow icon. Then click the "cell towers" button. You will see an arrow that will point to the direction of your nearest / strongest cell tower. I then installed the signal booster antenna on my rooftop TV antenna mast and pointed it in that direction. I watched the pointer on my phone as I did this. I then ran the supplied cable attached to the antenna down and into the house and as far as it would reach to give me the 25 - 50 feet distance in the instructions. Then used the cable double male connector to connect the outside antenna cable to the cable going to the signal booster. Then connected the signal booster to the inside antenna with the remaining cable. After all this...plugged the power supply to the booster in and bingo ...all 3 lights on the booster lit up green after about 30 seconds. Now have 4-5 bars signal strength and great cell reception. After trying a few locations with the inside antenna that gave me the best results I mounted everything. Inside antenna is on the wall about 5 ft. high in my main living area. Tip : You can also download the free app called " network cell info lite" and in the guage tab you can see your cell signal strength. I hope this helps.

I mean it gets the job done some what. If you follow the instructions and ensure it’s pointing at the nearest cell tower. It’ll boost your internet a bit. I wish I went with a different brand or seller, this one I feel lies about the ability of their product. Sure it works, but typically one bar increased. Sometimes two. I never had really horrible internet, but it does help increase the availability of data in my room, so no more dead zones. That’s a plus. I just feel that the money they asked for was way more than what it would take to make a decent product. They could have done much better to make something more powerful. If you are trying to save money buying this product, don’t. Spend a little more like I should have and actually get something that ensures your connection to the towers. If you are short on money, this works well enough to get the job done I guess. (UPDATE) I’m dropping this by another star because not only does it have the issues above but it seems to not be stable either. The signal output will often times become so weak that it’s as if I have no booster to begin with. I have many times had to unplug it and plug it back it to reset it. This should not be an issue.

Worked great to get my cell phone from 1-2 bars to 3-5 bars at the camper. Easy installation and setup.

This antenna works great as it says it does in the description. I had absolutely no data and spotty cell service until I installed this product. I immediately was able to stream video easily with a solid cell signal. I installed this antenna at my cottage during the week and had excellent results. When Friday came and on the weekend, unfortunately the increase in visitors to the area overwhelms the cell tower resulting in slower data speeds. This has nothing to do with the cell booster. The area where my cottage is becomes heavily populated on the weekends resulting in an overloaded cell network. The booster works amazingly and I recommend it. Installation was fairly easy. I used an old satellite dish pole mount and put it on the roof.

This booster did a very good job of bringing me data where I had none. Installed at my boathouse (rural ranch storage yard) for when on site doing maintenance, etc., it's nice to have internet manuals or have a decent voice conversation. What was most notable with this booster kit was the booster device has on screen indication of bands available and drill in signal performance to help eliminate antenna isolation problems (affecting gain). The app for managing the booster is a bonus, but not helpful as the Bluetooth range was not far enough when pointing the directional antenna in an outdoor trial. Mostly the app was good for locating the direction of nearby cell towers and screen mirroring the display & settings functions of the booster. But the most important app was the recommended Network Cell Info Lite app which matched the performance display - but mostly showed how the Android Pixel4a was receiving and which band was being used. Fabulous booster with economy antennas and more than enough cable length.

We had problems locating 1 to 2 bars and they were not continuous. We purchased this unit and get 3 to 5 bars when we are close to the unit. This is great for a remote camp site. We were unable to get data. We worked with tech support and they were very helpful. They recommended another unit that might help get different Bands. It didn't and we returned that unit. We are satisfied that at least to have cell service which we didn't before and the tech support was good.

I had purchased this for an old jobsite that was just out of cellular range & boy were we surprised at how easy it was to set it up & how well it actually worked... (I would share some photos but the site is under Federal contract so no photos allowed). Pro's: It arrived in days, within the week it was ordered. *It comes with ample user friendly instructions & everything required to set it up. *Very compact & light weight allowing one to install it nice & high most anywhere. *Very solid & sturdy design as well as material, can tell it is not cheaply made as soon as you pull it out of the box. *The recommended signal configuration app works like a charm (tested on 3 different cellphones on the jobsite). *Customer support is absolutely amazing & they have gone above & beyond even taking it upon themselves to check & see if I was happy with the product & offered to answer any potential qyustions & assist in any way to once it was confirmed I had recieved the Signal Booster... Cons: *Can't think of any to be honest, it's a great product from an awesome company. For the record this this NOT a "Cellular Tower" per-se.., you will still require some cellular signal & if not then have it set up just outside of your signal range for it to work.
