I bought this item and exchanged it three times because I assumed that I just got a defective one.
After trying four units, I’ve concluded that the product does not work as advertised. In contrast, I’ve also tried the Wilson cellular repeaters and they seem to work great.

If you are less than one foot away, it works great. ANY other distance is exactly no changeat all. I recieved one bar of sevice all over my house before I installed it. I now recieve one bar of service all over the house unless I’m less than a foot away and then I recieve three bars. After all the sheetrock repair and the running it through my attic; it’s just not worth the money to send it back. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME!!!!!!!!!

I bought this from Radio Shack without doing my homework. Running wires, drilling holes, and crawling through my hot attic only to discover that this product is useless. Now I have to crawl back up to take it down. Sigh…..

This is a great idea – but for me it just did not work as advertised. I had a full signal in the place I put the receiver but the reception in the house did not improve at all. Unfortunate.

I had high hopes for this cell phone signal booster but was very disappointed in its performance and returned the item. I did get it to work by placing the antenna outside where the signal was marginal but would support a normal phone connection. The inside signal did work but the range was very limited and it sometimes dropped calls for no obvious reason. Amazon was very accommodating in taking it back but I’m frustrated and still looking for an affordable solution for my poor reception problem.
