We would like to connect with you to learn more about how you are using your Reach Antenna and how you are measuring your signal strength. It is important to know that Reach Antenna is tested and proven to always be working to strengthen your signal, but you may not always easily see that on your phone screen. Often times performance is seen when you have the ability to make and hold calls in areas where you were previously unable to. You may also see better battery life because the phone isn’t having to work as hard to find and hold a signal.
It is also important to know that we designed Reach Antenna to be used (1) with a case and (2) also when held in your hand. We have tested it extensively and created a video documenting our testing. In the video you will see live data with improved performance in real life situations, as tested by independent third party labs. You can see it at: http://www.reachantenna.com/drivetest
We would like to connect with you to learn more about how you are using Reach Antenna so we can ensure you experience all it has to offer. Please give us a call so we can work with you. You can reach us at 1-855-862-4090.

It’s important to know that when using Reach Antenna you may not always see more “bars” on your phone screen - so it may not always be clear that it is working for you. Often times performance is seen when you have the ability to make and hold calls in areas where you were previously unable to. You may also see better battery life because the phone isn’t having to work as hard to find and hold a signal.
The reason for this is related to how your phone measures signal strength, and what it takes to give you a full LTE “bar”. A full bar improvement takes 10 dBs, which equals a 10X signal improvement. You can have a 2 dB improvement from Reach Antenna (which gives you a 1.5x signal improvement) while still not having the phone show an extra “bar”.
Should you decide to give Reach Antenna another try we would be happy to work with you to ensure you experience all it has to offer. Fee free to reach out to us at 1-855-862-4090.

We have rigorously tested Reach Antenna in 3rd party CTIA-authorized labs to validate the results we display on our packaging. Reach Antenna is tested and proven to provide up to 1.5X LTE signal strength improvement. We also conducted 3rd party drive testing to ensure these results occurred in real world situations while moving through different locations. Additionally we created a video documenting this testing and we would like you to view it as it speaks to your concerns about performance. In the video you will see live data with improved performance in real life situations. You can see it at: http://www.reachantenna.com/drivetest

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This was a total waste of money.
It did not help the signal at all.
Not that it didn't do anything.
It did have 2 effects on the use of my phone.
First the case is too tight now and second I actually lost a bar of signal becouse there is one more thing besides the case for the signal to travel past.
As it is a sticker, Good luck trying to return it.
Too bad there isn't a waste of money scale instead of a star scale.
The only upside is the fact that my wallet is thinner without all that money so it fits in my pocket better.

It’s important to know that the “bars” on your phone screen do not show you the full picture of your signal and you can have a benefit from Reach Antenna without seeing an extra “bar”. Often times Reach Antenna performance is seen when you have the ability to make and hold calls in areas where you were previously unable to. You may also see better battery life because the phone isn’t having to work as hard to find and hold a signal.
The reason for this is that your phone's signal strength is measured in dB’s which use a logarithmic scale that is non linear like the earthquake scale. This means that you can have a 2 dB improvement (which gives you a 1.5X signal improvement) while still not having the phone show an extra “bar”. A full bar of improvement for your signal takes 10 dBs, which equals a VERY BIG 10X improvement in your signal.
