It works, just follow the directions...
It works as advertised. It's a really simple setup and solves bad cell phone reception. I would recommend this product. And, compared to other similar products, the price point is reasonable. For a 5 stars rating, this is what I would like to see: 1) the apparatus looks okay, but the wire is intrusive; I wish this was wireless. I would easily pay double for a wireless version 2) a smaller dish (or no dish, I know that's wishful thinking) 3) the reception can be fickle depending on the positioning of the indoor antenna in relation to where you/your phone are

Boosts signal, but no miracle worker
I live in a mobile home in a rural area. I either had to lean toward a window or go outside to talk on my cellphone. I had to move this unit a couple of times until I found the best place. I does boost my signal from zero bars before to two or three now. I don't have to go outside anymore to make a call.

Worked for us
Surprisingly, the booster did very well in our situation. Was hesitant b/c someone told me in a local store they don’t even stock these bc they usually don’t work, but in our case it did. Was easy to hook up aside from the unsightly cord exposed in my daughters apt. She does not have WiFi and had dead spots all over because of the older building she lives in. The “disk” went upstairs in her bedroom and the antenna in her kitchen downstairs with the 50 ft cord reaching from A to B. As soon as we plugged it in, she had service in the dead spots. The disk is flashing yellow so she is getting more signal that what she needs, but we can’t really separate the distance between the two any farther. Overall, very pleased it fixed her situation! The only problem in setup was it has a stand if you want to set it on the floor or table (instead of sticking to the window) but we couldn’t get the base/stand to snap in well.

Well worth it!
Easy to install, powerful enough so my phone works! I also have tried another yagi outside antenna, it works for everything except getting & making calls (diff brand). I do not use both together. The distance between antenna & receiver is important, 35 feet is recommended also a few walls in between. Or upstairs to downstairs. Mine are 35 feet apart, 4 walls in between. Works great!
