5.0 out of 5 stars This thing ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!, May 25, 2010

This review is from: Wireless Extenders zBoost YX400-P Signal Booster for Sprint and MetroPCS (Wireless Phone Accessory)

Background: I bought the zboost ONE yx-400 as a last resort. I could not get a signal in my office and Sprint's offer of an Airrave for $100 + $5/month service fee would not work for me as I can't get a security-free internet connection in my office. If I lean my phone up against my office window, 8 feet behind my desk, I can sometimes get one or two bars, but if I move the phone more than 2 feet from the window my signal drops completely. Also, I cannot get a 3g signal for data in my office.

Review: Set up of the zboost ONE was a breeze. I just plugged it in, made a call right by my window with my sprint phone, pressed the signal sync button, then moved the unit around by my office window until I found a spot about a foot from the window where it received a signal. I could never get my phone to get more than 2 bars, but the zboost one picked up a 5 bar signal about a foot from my office window.

I went from getting no bars at my desk to getting 5 full bars and a full EVDO 3g signal. Now I can make calls, surf the web, text, and even stream Sprint TV all without any problems.

The key to this device is your ability to receive some sort of signal somewhere in your office or home. If you cant get a signal anywhere around your office or home indoors or outdoors, this device probably wont work. But if you're like many office workers and can get a signal as long as you stand perfectly still by your window, this device will lock onto that signal and amplify it up to about 30-40 feet away, even to the point where you can get a full 3g EVDO 5 bar signal.

Most impressed!

Have to say first, that I bought this item because it says it works for Sprint. Improving data and phone line signal. I'm a Sprint customer and the place I live can't have good signal. I'm able to make, receive calls. Most of the time, whit interference but never drop a call. The big problem data signal is horrible and, I have a smart phone plus I use it as hot spot for my laptop. so thats why I bought signal booster and I returned because it just improved the signal for calls, excellent for phone calls. It gave me full bars but nothing for data signal. The return proses was very easy. One more thing I all ready try 3 others booster and nothing works for my place to improve data I just try this last one cause says and mention Sprint and MetroPCS.
thanks for reading my review and very sorry for the spilling. English is my second language and still learning.

This is the first and only cell booster that I have tried that lives up to it's billing. It took my sprint signal from barely 1 bar at my office to 5 bars. It seems to help reduce the battery usage on my cell phone when it's idle at my desk. This is worth it!
