Awesome Product! I live in a rural area and had to go outside in order to make calls and would need to place my phone in a window to send or receive texts. I can now sit in my living room and do either, I can also use my High Speed internet indoors now! It has allowed me to cancel my home phone service so the SignalBoost will pay for itself in just a few months! Just follow the included directions and I feel certain you will be happy with the Wilson SignalBoost. I would encourage the signal site check. By doing this I was able to find the perfect spot to mount the external antenna.

I purchased this kit to get better reception with my Sprint wireless internet card. My previous signal strength was -95db to -105db. I would occasionally get knocked off of the internet and have to reconnect. When I first connected the repeater, I was getting -65db to -75db. Now after about two weeks my signal strength has dropped to -75db t0 -85db which is still an improvement, but not the 55db improvement that is claimed. I have not been knocked off of the internet with the repeater and I also can now use my cell phone in the house instead of going outside. This kit is definitely an improvement. I used a twenty foot length of 3/4" pipe to mount the outside antennae which is the suggested best way to mount the outside antennae. The alternate outside mounting methods may not get the same results.
3Gstore Comments:
We're glad it's working out for you! Just to clarify, the 55db you are referring to is the "gain" of the amplifier - it refers to how powerful the amplifier is with regards to how large of an area it can rebroadcast signal to, NOT the amount of improvement you're going to see on your devices. The signal improvement users will see depends on the signal situation at the location (how weak the signal is to begin with, where the tower is, what's in between you and the tower, etc).

I went from very unreliable 3G service to steady 3G service. I would recommend it for anyone in the fringe areas. Ron

Graet item. I am in a strickly 1X area 19 miles on the back of the nearest tower. I was getting 1 bar some of the time. When I hooked up the SignalBoost DT I went up to 4 full bars. Now that all of the leaves are out I am getting 3 bars and sometimes 4 bars. No more dropped calls. Thank You.

I live way out in the country in rural Arkansas. I went from no bars to 4 bars of service in my whole house. I am now even able to game using my Mi-Fi.
Great product fast delivery!

Worked very, very well in my parents home. Prior to installing, they would have to go outside their home to make cell phone calls. Used www.antennasearch.com to find the nearest VZW cell tower. Now they can make clear calls from their couch. Only downside is the broadcast area doesn't cover more than a couple of rooms in the house.

I love the Signal Boost DT that we purchased - our cell phones and data card work so much better in our house! Super choice!

I live on the edge of my 3G carrier's service range. My house is 'below the horizon' - hills and ridges prevent line of sight to either nearby cell tower... both about 5 to 7 miles away. In a previous experiment with 3G, I was unable to recive adequate signal indoors for Rev. A, and I chose to stick with dialup... mainly because of the added 'startup' costs of antenna and amp and the expensive monthly carrier charge.
Recently, when I learned the carrier's monthly rates had dropped, I decided to go ahead and try 3G again. I bought the Wilson SignalBoost DT together with a MiFi 2200 from the 3GStore earlier this month. Even with both, I wasn't certain I'd have adequate signal. I was happily surprised.
The SignalBoost and MiFi have turned out to be good combination for my needs at home. Though I can sometimes get a strong enough signal for Rev. A without the SignalBoost, the levels are typically over -100dBm. With the SignalBoost, the numbers fall to the -50's and -60's, and I get a reliable 5 bar Rev. A signal.
Works for me.

I now have maximum readings on all my devices when within 5 feet of the indoor antenna. I wish I could go anywhere in my home, but the the fact that I haven't had any "dropped calls" or being unable to make a call, is a thing of the past. It's well worth the investment if you live in a fringe area. It costs much less than a year of land line service.
