    Living in the country kills your cell phone reception! The reach antenna is amazing! It helps save my battery too because my phone isn't always searching for a different or better signal! Best money I've ever spent!!!

    I got a little better signal strength when driving in country side. The adhesive portion stayed on the whole time. Did not see a whole lot of improvement with battery life.

    I travel for a living and didn't notice much of a signal boost. The battery life was a little better, but aside from the occasional extra bar, no huge difference.

    I think that so far my data speeds have improved as well as the ability to send picture/video messages. I haven't had any dropped calls since using the product, but then again I didn't have many before I used. It fits well in my case and does not cause any aesthetic issues.

    The reach antenna was really easy to install that I re-read all the instructions over to make sure I was doing it right. Made my data speed faster & sent photo messages faster also. My battery actually lasted all day.

    The product did help my battery by allowing my phone to not have to search for the network. It also had helped me get a signal in places I usually don't, but I did notice a little trouble with wifi connecting but that might not have been anything to do with the product.

    Purchased this product yesterday for my iphone 6. Helped stopped dropped calls on my drive to work! Always had a dead zone on my drive and was able to speak on the phone right through that area today. Definitely worth the money

    I purchased two of these for use at our cabin in the woods. While there, if I place my phone in just the right spot, I will receive a very weak signal that frequently drops. So, I figured using this antenna I should be able to boost that weak signal to have constant coverage. At the very least more often. To be fair, I placed the antenna on my phone and did not put the second one on my wife's phone to act as a control. There was zero difference. Both phones lost or gained coverage at the same time. I placed both phones into "field test mode" to get a true reading of the signal (this give a numeric value to the cell signal as opposed to arbitrary bars) and saw zero difference in the signal strength between the two phones. Further, this messed up the inside of my platinum case contrary to the claims that you can use your existing case. It ended up peeling the soft interior. So, save your cash. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. I really really really wanted this to work. But it really really really doesn't.

    I was really impressed with the coverage improvement. I thought my coverage was good, but it worked even in areas that were spotty for me before. My data speeds increased as well, I was very pleased.

    Excellent. Doubled my signal strength immediately. Installed in 2 minutes (took one minute to read the directions). They also have very nice and sleek cover which also boost the signal strength.

    Not so wonderful

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

    I found the product did not perform as expected. I normally do not have a problem with my service like dropped calls or slow connection. So I took it to the mall where I have had an issue before. I did not see any improvement from when I did not use Reach. I still was not able to get service in the areas that I could not get service before. However, I do think the battery life might last a little longer. That is why I gave it two stars.

      We are glad to hear you have seen improved battery performance from Reach Antenna. This is one way you will see its benefits. Please know that while you may not always see more “bars” on your phone, Reach Antenna is still working hard behind them. Your “bars” are translated from a much more precise measurement method using dBs. The dBs use a logarithmic (non linear) scale, so 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”. We realize this can be confusing, but it is important to to know because a full “bar” improvement requires 10 dBs, which equals a very big 10X improvement in your signal.

      It is important 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 like 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 work with you. Antenna79

    Doesn't work

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

    After seeing the reviews on this site, I got excited. I was especially convinced to see ReachAntenna reach out to the one bad review for a possible solution. I immediately picked one up at the nearest Best Buy. Sadly, I didn't have the same success as the other's on this forum. At best, if I keep the phone still, it will improve (slightly) the signal--meaning, I'd have to use my speaker phone. Does anyone know what Best Buy's return policy is on this item? Or can ReachAntenna reach out and let me know what I can do? I would greatly appreciate it. Nevertheless, my particular purchase might be an anomaly-- if other's are having success, great! I just didn't have the same luck.

    To be fair, I don't have anything to compare this to. I've never tried anything like it in the past, but I did feel as if I had better coverage and fewer dropped calls as promised.

    Antenna boosts signal

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

    Antenna was very easy to apply using the plastic container provided. Antenna definitely boosted signal in some trouble areas I had before. However in complete dead spots it did not seem to help. It helps in spots that are weak.

    Works well at boosting signal

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

    It has been helpful if boosting my ability to use data in areas that I previously had trouble with. The issue for me is that although it's thin, my case won't fully snap in. It's a hard plastic case and there's no give.
