This amplifier just plain works. I live in an area with no service within 10 miles of my house and I am now able to get 2-3 bars all around the area where I live with this amplifier. All areas where I had a weak signal are now showing 4-5 bars. Also, it potentially saved someones life as I saw a bad car accident this morning in an area with no service and was able to call 911 because of this product.
At this price you can't afford not to have this in your car for safety when traveling through areas with no service.
I have Verizon Wireless service and live in rural WV. I have not thoroughly tested it with any other carriers but I'm sure it will work as advertised with AT&T and others.

My wife and I are currently using T_mobile, also tested the unit with a friend's verizon phone, worked really well for both. Found instant increase of 1-2 bars when powering on the unit. It was able to hold a call in our dreaded dead zone, and we had no more dropped calls in our usual sketchy areas. Calls also seemed clearer less pops and issues with static. The download speed was noticeably faster when loading web pages. We liked it enough we bought a second one for the other vehicle so we can make the installs permanent. The unit does easily change from vehicle to vehicle but for us it was a matter of fighting over one unit for 2 people. The install is basiclt plug the holder to the power unit, the power unit to the antenna, and the power unit to the 12v power((lighter socket)). The antenna has a soft magnetic base so as not to scratch and the cable can be popped thru a window or moon roof. The also sell thru the glass antennas for more perm installs.

Hi, Amy's hubby here, we live in a fringe area in a large Rocky Mountain valley, lots of big hills and mountains. None of the cellular suppliers do a very good job of reaching our place, and even in the most favorable weather conditions reception is very marginal. However, we have a bay window in our living room that receives one bar most of the time, which avoids having to use the 1X signal which drains batteries quickly and drops calls frequently.
I bought this unit over the larger Wilson repeaters for two reasons. First, I really didn't want to spend a large amount because we don't spend that much time on the phone. But..having dropped our landline last summer, our cells became our primary phones. Secondly, there is just enough bad press about SAR emissions that I was hesitant about having a large emitter going 24/7 in our house. Maybe an unjustifiable reason, but the relatively short distance and power at which this unit operates was more what I had in mind. We both use our Bluetooths almost exclusively, so it's design was fine - we just keep one cell docked and use it.
Pros -
A snap to set up and get in operation, once I had ordered a couple more things (see Cons).
Great performance! Got 4+ bars TX and 3 of EV, as good as anywhere in the valley or mountains here. I'm sure the performance in the car would be as good.
Plenty of power/antenna cord to allow mounting options in home and car.
Cradle was a bit sticky to set and release phone, but hey, it's new, a small shot of graphite powder and a little use and it'll be fine.
The amplification influence actually seems to extend a bit further than the 3'-5' advertised. One room away used to be a no-go, now we get maybe 1 bar..enough to talk briefly if needed.
Cons -
Essentially, you get everything you need to set up in an auto, BUT..if you do a home installation, you'll likely need a part Amazon doesn't offer, the Wilson 901128 Window Mount, a small suction cup bracket that affixes to any glass or smooth surface. It affords a metal surface to mount the antenna without drilling. I was initially going to fabricate a bracket, but opted for this as it can be moved and is relatively inexpensive on several websites - around 8 or 10 bucks. If you don't want to use one of the auto type mounts included with the kit, I suggest purchasing a Wilson 901120 gooseneck suction cup mount, about $11 on this website. It extends out from the mounting surface a foot or more and can twist and bend for about any viewing angle, will allow clearance to tables, chairs, etc. that might be sitting close. I'm thinking it would be prudent for Wilson to include the antenna bracket with the kit..seems like a logical inclusion for a setup sold as 'auto or home'.
Only reason I didn't give it five stars is the omission of the bracket.
Wilson has a rep for being one of the best in the business, I would expect no less from this unit. If you are in a spot where the small desktop units are not good enough, or need something that will go from home to car for a trip, this works very well.

Wilson Electronics SignalBoost Cell Phone Signal Booster Kit for Car...
Here in the mountains of West Va this is a big help. The cradle works very well also. Give it up to 30 seconds to boost the signal. After that it stays about 2 or 3 bars stronger.
