I live and camp in the western U.S. and have found this antenna to be very effective. It works either while driving down the road or while stationary, and it's not too difficult to attach it to your roof while in motion, unless it freaks out your cat when you open the window, but that's another issue.
I've tried it on three phones, two Motorolas and an LG, and in all cases it usually brings the signal up by two bars. In areas with no signal, sometimes it allows weak analog service and sometimes it won't. Having this antenna has meant the difference between analog and digital service, or between no service and analog. Even if you are getting four or five bars, when you use this it seems that your calls will get dropped less often, or never.
There are a few limitations:
1. Your cell phone must accept an external antenna. Look for a hole near the base of the phone's antenna, which is often covered with a rubber plug.
2. Many phones require an adapter to be used with this product. You will have to check with Wilson Electronics to see if this is the case. If it is, they cost about $10. Your cell phone store may also carry them.
3. This thing works because it is attached to the roof of a vehicle. You can't carry it up on a hill and hold it in your hand - you have to be in the car. I have heard of people attaching it to an old-fashioned pie tin that is attached to some PVC pipe to get it six feet higher, but personally I haven't tried this.
4. The cable between the antenna/car and your phone isn't very long, so plan on sitting in the car to use this.
Overall, I am very pleased with this because it lets me check my e-mail while camping, which means I can play hooky from my job and not get caught.

If you are using the Wilson Electronics 815226 Sleek Cell Phone Signal Cradle Booster for All Cell Phones with Mini Magnet Mount Antenna - For Single User and want an additional boost to your signal, this is not the right antenna for you. Instead, according to Wilson tech support, you need to buy the Wilson Electronics 301125 Dual Band (800-1900 MHz) Magnet Mount Antenna with SMA Male Connector and 10-Foot RG174 Coax Cable.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I just got this today. It's advertised as an antenna for the car but I'm using it at home. I'm about 100 yards out of a cell reception area (I use Verizon and I have the LG Dare). After reading a positive review elsewhere, I decided to try this, knowing there was a good possibiity it might not work. I've tested it with 2 calls so far, walking around, and it been very good. No drops in signal or sound. Now, I just need to a better solution than a baking sheet to attach the antenna to. Will post an update in a week.

Where I could not call out for more than a couple of sec. before the wireless call was dropped - I can now use the cell like a regular phone from inside the cabin.
