As you can see this come with a lot of stuff, but what you might not realize is that it can increase signal strength for Verizon Mobile, Virgin Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, Straight Talk and Cricket Wireless Cell Phones and Modems. I say that pretty much covers anyone who has a 3g Connection, you have the option of buying the 4G Signal Booster but most will only need the 3G booster. I am sure I have left out a few mobile providers but in any case most, if not all, will work with this booster.
So I got mine for 89$ but Amazon seems to be running a special on them right now. I would recommend buying the bigger Antenna for it. The Antenna that comes with it is really a small antenna and thus you will not get as much service without the bigger version of Antenna. I have ordered my bigger Antenna but it didn’t not make it to this review. I must say that I am living in a area that doesn’t get much signals and this booster did help out with all my needs.
Pro’s
- Mobility — if you are looking for the car, then this is defiantly one of those that can be a great asset to traveling. The antenna stays on the roof with no problem, the magnet is strong and sturdy.
- More Coverage — After installing this booster in my home, I have found that I am getting at least 1 bar with my Virgin Mobile Mifi Modem. Which in itself is very good thing. I can’t get internet any other way.
- Home Kits — Wilson sells some great home kits to make it more home friendly, so at least if you need it for the home it can easily be used for the home.
- Money — You only have to buy this once and you are all set to use it for any phone you might buy!
Con’s
- Heat — If you the booster has to work a lot it will be producing more heat. Although this isn’t the end of the world it can slow or prevent some cell phones from working properly. So you must be mindful of that.
- Antenna — Like I said you can buy a bigger Antenna but that will up the cost of the booster by 20 to 30% but it is worth it. It should be a kit already being sold with the bigger antenna, but I am sure someone has thought of that somewhere.
- Phones — This is one of those really obvious ones but not all phones will be able to use this booster because of the location of the battery and the internal antenna. It sometimes is a hit or miss when it comes to cell phone boosters.
All in all I am really happy with this little Cellular Booster that actually does increase my data and phone speeds a lot and let’s me have more steady connections. It is a must for anyone who lives in a rural area that needs to be connected to friends and family. I am really happy with this little device and you should go check it out yourself!
I guess having this kit for $89 is a generous offer. It is a great deal. And this is a price worth for its features.
Yes, it actually quiet a good deal. Then if you need more signal strength consider going to http://amazon.paulstechtalk.com and buying the the bigger antenna.
