I thought it would increase my coverage but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

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. 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.
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. We have tested it extensively and created a video documenting our testing. 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. Please give us a call so we can work with you. You can reach us at 1-855-862-4090.

Thanks for purchasing Reach Antenna. We would like you to know that Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal, but that doesn’t always translate into “bars” on your screen highlighting the effect. 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”.
It is also 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 and 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. You can see it at: http://www.reachantenna.com/drivetest
Please give us a call so we can work with you to be sure that you are using the product as we have designed so you too can experience all Reach Antenna has to offer. You can reach us at 1-855-862-4090.

I have AT&T and it is almost impossible to tell if this is working. I did not return the product because I really don't want to remove my case and clean off the sticky residue. This might work for other carriers and their iPhone 6 devices but not mine.

Thanks for purchasing Reach Antenna. We want to reach out to help you understand a bit more about Reach Antenna and how it functions. Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal, but it is important to know that doesn’t always translate into “bars” on your screen. Because of this it may not be apparent that your are getting a stronger signal. To get a bit technical, 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.
We also want you to know that the adhesive we use allows Reach Antenna to be installed and removed without leaving behind any residue. If you have any questions about installing or removing it please reach out to us. You can reach us at 1-855-862-4090.

I bought a case that killed my cell signal. I tried this to try to get my signal back with my new case but had no luck. Good accurate instructions but no luck with the signal. It could have also been case that was not allowing the booster to work. Best Buy did return the booster with no trouble.

Please don't waste your money buying this item if you live in an area with poor AT&T signal. I currently have one bar on my iPhone, when I applied this antenna nothing changed. I still had the same amount of dropped calls.

This product did absolutely nothing to help increase my data excess ability whatsoever and create a stronger connection. I tested it several times in different areas around town by removing and then reapplying however the results were hardly any difference whatsoever.

I can't tell if this product works or not, which really means it doesn't. I still have the same weak connections in the locations where I was having trouble. Is the reception maybe marginally better? Perhaps, but any improvement is so slight as to be imperceptible.

We know how frustrating a poor signal can be and that is exactly why we built Reach Antenna and its newer sibling Reach Case.
We designed Reach Antenna to be used (1) with your existing 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 have tested it extensively and created a video documenting our testing. 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
Please know that the adhesive we use for Reach Antenna is not permanent and the packaging came with a special removal tool to use should you need to remove it or re-install it. 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.
