This phone and products are awful

I have TMOBILE and know there is a tower in West Norriton. I work in the areal and previous had a Galaxy Note 3 before I purchased this horrendous combo today (I will be returning). I constantly run Speed tests (TMOBILE has WiFI-like coverage normally-Upload/Download at 40/Mbps) and am a diagnostics performance geek. Out of the box (64GB S6) the power concerned me a little bit. When I purchased the phone at the KOP mall, it came at 25% pre-loaded. Standard Google Apps updated and by the time I purchased the Reach Antenna it was already down to 8%...about 15 minutes later. Granted, the fast-charge on this product line is amazing, but almost faux. Before I went in to BBY, I ran an Ookla and was ~8Mbps. I powered up a bit and ran another one. I was 7 download aND 20 Upload after I installed it. The battery was up to 55%. Two hours later, I was home in Center City and my battery was down to 11% from setying my phone up while listening to music. In the middle of Phillips with the reach on I am averagingoing 6Mbps, both indoor and outdoor. I really wanted this product to work because I heard about it about 2 years ago as a penny stock. I got this phone model because it seems like third party companies have included it with iPhones and it gets all of the accessory bells and whistles too. I absolutely love Samsung, so for me to criticize any model they make I have to have a very strong opinion about it. Good news-64GB at TMOBILE was only $660. Bad news-the S6 is a terrible phone. I plan on returning and getting a Note 4 tomorrow. The Reach will be an open box at a Best Buy near you.

Brand response from ReachAntenna
Posted .
Please know that we have rigorously tested Reach Antenna in 3rd party CTIA-authorized labs to validate the results we display on our packaging. Reach Antenna is tested and proven to provide up to 1.5X LTE signal strength improvement. We also conducted 3rd party drive testing to ensure these results occurred in real world situations while moving through different locations. Additionally we created a video documenting this testing and we would like you to view it as it speaks to your concerns about performance. In the video you will see live data with improved performance in real life situations. You can see it at: http://www.reachantenna.com/drivetest
Signal strength on your phone 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.
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. You can reach us at 1-855-862-4090.

Few days ago, i went to a family trip to Big Bear. We stayed in a family cabin, where I would never usually get signal. Unless, I would go outside. With the Reach Antenna, I was able to get signal inside the cabin and receive text messages. I was definitely surprised!

I like this antenna ! Its easy to put in your cell phone. My reception is better in certain areas where it wasn't that good before. My battery life is also a little better. Good thing it goes under your own case.

Didn't really have problems with my coverage before but would occasionally drop a call. Didn't drop any calls with reach antenna. Didn't notice a change in my battery usage but data speed seemed faster

The range slightly increases.

I have had times where the range on my 4G LTE has been slightly larger due to the Reach Antenna. It was mainly when I was on the bus and noticed that my songs weren't buffering as often as they used to before I had this on my phone.

Nice boost for my Samsung 6
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is a nice little helper for my Samsung 6. Very small and "no footprint" on the space it occupies and fits right within the case so you don't notice it's there. It has made a noticeable improvement with problem of dropped calls and I usually see an increase to 4-5 bars in trouble spots. Minor improvement on loading times, but I never really had an issue there. Claims to increase battery power; on that, I can not be sure, because my phone use, between personal and business use varies day to day and I can't really accurately track that. Certainly, to my experience and frustration with reception so far, I do think it has been worth what it cost. Easy directions and simple to install-( could not be easier), in a matter of a minute, installation. Good product.

I thought it was a good value for the price. Increased my signal a bit and it was super easy to install. I wish it would have had a greater impact on my battery, but maybe it was my phone at fault. Overall great product.

So far, i haven't noticed any change in coverage, but I have noticed a slight increase in battery life. I wish it was a little thinner though, because my case no longer snaps properly.

Excellent performance

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
My first reaction to ReachAntenna working well on my phone in my rural area was not without skepticism. In fact, I was reluctant to even try it. However, after using it for a short time I noticed that my phone was working much better. It not only increased my signal quality it helped my phone run faster and with a much better quality in speed and performance. To all doubters, like me, I would definitely try this product, you will not be disappointed.

Improves Battery Life

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
While I haven't noticed a stronger signal, it has definitely improved my battery life. Since I've had my galaxy s6 the only problem I had was that the battery would only last for a couple hours. Now I can go for a little over a day without charging my phone, and i am on it constantly.

I am impressed with this product. It really does work as advertised by providing me with better call reception especially in dead zones while at work. I noticed my data seemed speedier too when I tried to load web pages. I recommend giving this a try, it's great for everyday use in addition to giving you an extra boost in dead zones.

Have horrible cell reception in my home. The Reach Antenna finally lets me get and make calls without roaming the house to find a good spot.
Simple to install, and you get what you pay for with improved signal!
