    Can't see a difference in reception

    I'm not sure if the $40 is with this product. I can't really see any difference in reception so not sure if it works or not. It also makes it a little bulky so only flexible soft iPhone cases will work with this.

      While you may not always see more “bars” on your phone screen, please know that Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal. 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 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 also like you to know that we designed our Reach Antennas 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. 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.

    I live in the country and bought this to see if it would improve my signal. We have 2 IPhones and the one with the antenna is no better than the one without it. Save your money, don't buy it

      We would like you to know that Reach Antenna has been rigorously tested 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. 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 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.

      If you are in need of a bigger lift in your signal we have a newer product called Reach Case that you may want to consider. 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. Antenna79

    My Reach antenna did a fairly good job with signal strength. I noticed in most places I had an extra bar with the antenna in place. I think it also helped extend my battery life. Easy to install and simple to use. I still experienced several dropped calls, however, which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars.

    Nice Product

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This product installs well and fits perfectly within my Otter box case. I am a sucker for all gadgets and I have been trying this product for a few weeks. I want to say that it is improving my speed but since it is hard to take on and off it is hard to compare at low signal locations to give actual numbers for improvement. I think it is helping a bit (maybe a lot) but I don't have numbers to prove it. I already get good reception at home and work/ so there is not much to compare against there. Overall I think even a little bit of signal boost is worth the price if you want to try to boost your phone's performance a bit.
