First off, it does work. My house has nearly zero signal and now I can make and receive calls some of the time. I think the most important thing to know about this product is that there MUST be a solid signal present in order for it to work as advertised. The price is a bit high for what it does, but it's better than nothing.
My Heros!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I switched services about a year ago because a cellular black hole existed about a half mile from my house. It went on over a mile and, you guessed it, that's the road I have to take for most of my business. Not only that, no matter how long I would wait ,I'd finally have tom leave and, sure enough the phone would ring as I entered the black hole.
So the new company gave me a phone and I proceeded to the hole and made over a dozen calls perfectly. So I was hooked my contract was up and I was a proud new customer for 2 years.
There was only one problem. My new phone had ZERO reception in my house. I would spend all my time standing by the front window and still breaking up at least 50% of the time.
Then I came across the Wireless Extenders Cell Phone Booster and said ''Hey it can't be any worse'' I thought it was pricey, but I was desperate. It arrived , I followed the directions and eureka I got phone. Not only just around the house, but in the attic, and yes even the basement.

Installed a dual band 510 in my basement office. The building is block and concrete multi story with flouresent lighting. I could not get signal before the Zboost, now I have full signal on both my Sprint and AT&T phones. I use both as a modem for my laptop and the signal is great and browsing speed is too. This product delivered for me. Those who say it does not work may have other issues at work in their situation affecting signal. remember, you have to place the outside antenna where there is good signal. if you are in a dead zone to start with there is no booster in the world that will work!

I was skeptical to say the least about this. We had a signal problem in the middle of our office, with cinder blocks all around us. We ran a cable (much longer than the one provided) to outside with the antenna mounted on an exposed wall. The signal level went from one or no bars, to 6 bars. We have not had a dropped call, or quality complaints since we set it up. This works well in a small environment, if we needed more coverage, the company offers higher-gain antennas for both in and outside. Overall, worth the price at a corporate level, it's up to you if it's worth more coverage in your house.

A client had some serious dead spots in a ''cement bunker'' of a building. We installed two of these units with the antennas up on the roof and the difference has been night and day. What was once often no bars at all to a single bar has now been replaced with 3-5 bars consistently with almost no dropped calls. Great product and great value! Thanks!
