    I love the idea of this product, but in practice I don't notice a big difference. I still have problems with reception at times. Extra bars do not show up, so it's hard to determine if it's making s difference. Jury is still out on this one.

    The place where I work I'm lucky to get one bar of 3G. Most of the time I have to deal with 1x. I purchased this solely because I thought it would help, and it didn't in that scenario.

      A full bar of improvement means your signal has improved by 10X - - which is a great improvement! The fact that you are getting a full extra bar outdoors is showing that Reach Antenna is indeed working for you. Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal but you may not always see more “bars” on your phone screen, so you may not realize what it is doing for you when you are indoors. 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”. 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 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.​ Antenna79

    Reach Antenna doesn't work

    I have very poor cell phone reception in my house. I haven't seen where the Reach Antenna has been of any assistance with this reception problem. Not expensive but not worth buying

      We know how frustrating poor cell phone reception can be, and that is exactly why we developed Reach Antenna. Please know that Reach Antenna has been extensively tested and proven to always be working to strengthen your LTE signal. 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 created a video documenting our extensive testing and we would like you to watch the video. 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. It is important to know that we designed Reach Antennas to be used (1) with a case and (2) also when held in your hand. Please give us a call so we can work with you.

    Didn't give me the boost I wanted everywhere I wanted but it did improve my signal strength some. Might be my imagination, but I could swear this causes my battery to die faster in areas within poor reception.

    For $40 I expected to have some dramatic results. I didn't get the desired results. I didn't check any download/upload speeds... But I was wanting more bars of reception. That didn't happen at all... No change

    I bought it for my wife's iPhone 6 and she says that it doesn't seem to improve signal strength, but I'm not sure she's even paid any attention to be honest. To my knowledge, she hasn't dropped any calls lately.

    Price is reasonable for the product. Installation was straight forward. For my I-Phone 6S, the Reach Antenna seems to consistently add one signal bar strength... Sometimes two bar. Reach Antenna is worth buying.

    This device purports to improve cell phone signal by 150%, which means that if you usually get two bars, the antenna booster will improve your reception by one bar. In my experience, this appears to be accurate, at least in places where an obstacle in the landscape does not block reception completely. But customers should keep in mind that the effect is modest. At a discounted price point, this device may be a worthwhile investment.

    I hardly notice the increase in signal, but I haven't gone to 1 bar since I have had it, and that's great since I have cheap coverage with sprint .

      Thank you for your purchase of Reach Antenna and your posting on your experience with it. The fact that you are not dropping to 1 bar is a sign that Reach Antenna is strengthening your signal.

      There are a variety of factors that can affect overall performance and it is important to know that we designed our Reach Antennas to be used (1) with a case and (2) also when held in a hand or up against a head. We created a video documenting our testing on signal performance. In the video you will see live data with improved performance in real life situations, as tested by independent third party labs. You can watch it on our website at: http://www.reachantenna.com/drivetest

      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.

    Not Very Effective

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

    I have given this product over 2 months to see if it provides noticeably better coverage but i can not say for sure that I notice it. I have weak coverage in & near my home and it did not noticeably add bars or improve quality. I gave it 2 stars rather than 1 since I did not test or prove improved coverage by making calls--I just looked at the number of bars.

      Thank you for purchasing Reach Antenna. We would like to clear up some confusion regarding your statement about “bars". Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal, but that doesn’t always translate into “bars” on your screen. 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”.

      The bars are also an indicator of “received signal" only, but ReachAntenna is actually improving both your receive and transmit signals …so there is much going on that you can’t actually see on your screen. Please note that nowhere in our marketing materials do we state that Reach Antenna will give you extra bars. What we do say is that we strengthen the possibility for greater coverage with up to 1.5X stronger LTE signal strength.

      We have tested Reach Antenna with independent labs and validated this as shown in a video we created documenting our testing. We would like you to view it as it speaks to your concerns. In the video you will see live data with improved performance in real life situations, as tested by independent third party labs. View it at: http://www.reachantenna.com/drivetest

      We are happy to have our support team answer any questions you might have on this.

    You cannot tell if this is improving your signal without using some means to measure results. I did a series of downloading speed tests with and without the antenna. The improvement was almost exactly 1.5 times better with the antenna.

    While I see some improvement in my range, it did not extend my range as expected--this might be attributed to the generally spotty mobile service at home.
