    I frequently go to an area with marginal cell coverage - often 1 bar of LTE. After adding this to my phone I was still at 1 bar but of 4G. I still suffer outages, but less frequently. Not a huge improvement but not a huge expense and VERY easy.

      We are glad to hear Reach Antenna fit easily into your case and we would like you to rest assured that Reach Antenna is tested and proven to be always working to strengthen your 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 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

      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

    Worthless product

    Product displayed at front of store. No employee could tell me anything about the device, and it does not do anything. I should have realized that "up to 1.5 times better" amounts to nothing. A weak signal of one dot will never be more than 1.5, which solves NOTHING. I live far away from a best buy, so the 14 day return policy is impossible for me use. I would suggest that employees are trained to use the products they are selling.

      We are sorry to hear about the confusion with the blue shirts who helped you. We work to train them on Reach Antenna and would like to know what city/location this happened at so we can make sure we review and update training at that store so they can do a better job.

      On our packaging we state that Reach Antenna increases LTE signal strength up to 1.5X and we have rigorously tested it in 3rd party CTIA-authorized labs to validate the results we display. 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”. A full “bar” improvement would equal a 10X signal improvement. With Reach Antenna performance is often times 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 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

      It is also important to know that we designed 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 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.

      We know how frustrating a bad signal can be and that is exactly why we developed Reach Antenna. It sounds like you have seen some improvement which we are glad to hear. It is important to know that we designed our Reach Antennas to be used (1) with a non-metal case and (2) also when held in your hand so how you are using it and what case you have are factors in performance.

      How are you measuring your reception? It is important to know 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.

      Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal – more than you may realize. However, certain building materials can cause major issues and interference with signal strength and that may be the case at your office. We have tested it extensively and created a video 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. You can see it at: http://www.reachantenna.com/drivetest.

      We know how frustrating a poor signal can be and that is exactly why we built Reach Antenna and its newer sibling Reach Case.

      If you are not a fan of sticking Reach Antenna to the back of your phone you may want to consider our newest product ReachCase. ReachCase is an iPhone case that has an extendable antenna that gives you our best signal improvement to date - - up to a 3X stronger LTE signal. The case provides drop test protection that exceeds military drop standards (up to 6’) so it takes good care of your phone. ReachCase is available at Best Buy stores and also online.

      We would like to know that while you may not always see more “bars” on your phone screen with Reach Antenna, it 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.

    I do not drop as many calls in marginal cell reception areas. Does add some weight to the cell phone and does get attached to the back of the phone. Not sure if it will fit inside all protective cases.

      Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal but it is important to know that you may not always see more “bars” on your phone screen. 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. The reason for this is related to how your phone measures signal strength, and what it takes to give you a full “bar”. 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”. A full bar of improvement would mean you have a very big 10X signal improvement.

      Please know that Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal, but that doesn’t always translate into “bars” or “circles” on your screen - - so you may not realize what it is doing for you. Often times Reach Antenna performance is seen when you have the ability to make and hold calls in areas where you were previously unable to. You may also have better battery life because the phone isn’t working as hard to find and hold a signal.
