I went in to buy a case for my Samsung S6 and decided to add this ReachAntenna with my purchase. I have been having issues with reception within my house with my S6, which i did not have with my S3, so, bought this product to see if would help. I have not noticed any differences in the signal and/or drops within my calls. Could be more of a Samsung issue, but, I would have expected to see an improvement of at least one bar in my signal with this product, but, no difference.

Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal but you may not always see more “bars”. The reason for this is due to what it takes to show a “bar” on your phone. Your 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 takes 10 dBs, which is 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 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.

Purchased after price drop. Signal not improved. Battery drains faster. Phone is hot. Have Tech21 cover on phone of which now with Reach my Samsung wireless charger works whereas before had to take cover off. I at least got that added bonus. Buyer beware... UP TO 1.5x stronger LTE signal strength really is not much. The package even says Strengthen the possibility... The best feature is the ease of installation. Had high hopes but Reach falls far short of any expectations of improved signal to create clearer calls or faster downloads.

We are glad to hear you found Reach Antenna easy to install. It is important to know that when using Reach Antenna you may not always see more “bars” on your phone screen, but 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. A full bar of improvement for your signal takes 10 dBs, which equals a VERY BIG 10X improvement in your 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.

The Galaxy S6 on Verizon really didn't need signal improvement, however if you can have it, why not take it. I saw an extra bar everywhere that I didn't always have 5.

Reach Antenna has been extensively tested in 3rd party labs and has been proven to increase LTE signal strenght up to 1.5X.

When I saw this on clearance, I thought it sounded good, but the reviews were up and down. I am glad that I tried it because it works better than anticipated! The cell signal was immediately better, it actually had more bars and it reached some spots that I had trouble with before.
I think the "secret" is to buy the correct model... Galaxy S6 with Verizon, etc.. - mine works great!

Just install this piece of junk and go in your STATUS on your android phone and watch your DB of signal stay the same....i tried it for just 2 days until I did the test and noticed nothing.... then after watching the DB in the status menu, i put the "sticker" on and off.... no difference. I would take this off the shelves personally.
