Great, on the rare occasions it works... [Posted on 2008-08-13]
This booster works really great on the rare occasions it actually works at all. It has a red light which is supposed to indicate that the antenna is too close to the box. I have the antenna as far away from the box as the wire permits, and when I turn the box on, the light shows green and the device works great... for about 15 minutes or so. Then the red light comes on for no apparent reason, and the device has to be unplugged and plugged in again to make it work again. So, this makes it pretty useless, because unless I just happened to plug the device in minutes before someone calls me, it won't be working.
If you have Verizon... [Posted on 2008-08-20]
I figured I was taking a gamble buying this when I read the reviews, and it turns out it didn't do anything to improve my reception over something else I did the same day I bought this online (unfortunately AFTER I already bought it): If you have Verizon, every so often you're supposed to update your phone by dialing *228, then choosing option 2 (you chose option 1 when you first got your phone, to program it). This updates the phone to any changes Verizon has made, like new towers, or whatever else they do to improve reception. I hadn't done it in a year, although I think they advise doing it monthly, and voila!, I could actually make and receive calls from inside my apartment again! Once I got the wireless extender in the mail, I didn't get any further improvement, and the phone is working well enough now that I don't feel the need to upgrade to the more expensive extender.
great idea but... [Posted on 2008-08-27]
I really had great hopes for this unit since I have poor reception in my house. It simply did not work for me -- I got the same signal strength with or without the unit on.
It's going back to Amazon and I would like to note that I am pleased with their very prompt attention to my request to return the product.
Don't bother [Posted on 2008-09-25]
I bought this thinking it would allow me to use the 2-3 bar signal i get by standing by the window and allow me to move throughout my room. I found out within 10 minutes of setting this pile that it was worthless. When i actually could get the device to work it only gave me one bar. and my phone had to be within 6 inches of the antenna. within 15 minutes it wouln't even signal connect anymore. Don't waste your money. You might as well make your own out of foil.
it really does work [Posted on 2008-09-29]
I was skeptical about purchasing this product due to the bad reviews. It does work...at least for our business. It gives me a couple extra bars so that i'm not dropping calls all the time, however, I only take call in one spot and it works great for that. Its worth a try, I looked at all my options and this seemed to be the most economical.
