      It is important to know that we designed Reach Antenna to be used (1) with a case and (2) also when held in your hand, so how you are using it and what case you have are factors in performance. It is also important to know that while you may not always see more “bars” on your phone screen, Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal. The reason for this is that your phone’s signal strength is measured in dB’s, and with the logarithmic (non linear) dB scale 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”. This means that 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.

      We have tested it extensively to validate Reach Antenna performance. We created a video documenting our testing which we would like you to view. 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 be happy to work with you to help make sure you are experiencing all that Reach Antenna has to offer. Please reach out to us at 1-855-862-4090 so we can answer any questions you may have. Antenna79

    No change in my signal. I bought it before I flew out of the country for a month. But of course I can't return it anymore when I get back to the US because it has been over 15days from purchase. Don't waste your money with this. With or without this extra antenna, my phone signal is the same.

    I thought it might be worth a try. I have dead spots at work, and in my own living room. I don't get a a sugar extra bar in any of these locations, and still can't call out of these locations. I was very skeptical, as the iPhone antenna is actually on the perimeter edge of the phone, not anywhere near the back, where this device is placed. Should've listened to my gut.

      Your iPhone 6/6s uses all the metallic parts across the phone as part of the antenna system, and Reach Antenna is able to passively couple with that antenna system to create a larger expanded antenna system. It is important to know that you may not always see more “bars” when using it so you may not realize that it is always working to improve your signal. The signal strength of your phone is measured in dB’s, and with the logarithmic (non linear) dB scale 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”. This means that 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.

      We also have a newer product called Reach Case that you may want to consider for your signal challenges. Reach Case has an extendable antenna and gives you our best signal improvement to date - - up to a 3X stronger LTE signal. Reach Case is available at Best Buy stores and also online. Please reach out to us at 1-855-862-4090 so we can answer any questions you may have on it. Antenna79
