Let me start by saying this cell phone booster is a GAME-CHANGER. I live in a rural area where even carrier pigeons hesitate to deliver messages, and my phone signal was basically non-existent indoors. After installing this booster, I went from struggling to send a text to binge-watching Netflix in HD—yes, it’s THAT good.

The Good Stuff: First off, setup was surprisingly easy. The instructions were clear, and within 20 minutes, I had the outdoor antenna mounted near my roof (facing the nearest cell tower) and the indoor unit placed centrally in my house. The moment I powered it on, my phone jumped from 1 bar to full signal strength. No more dropped calls during important work meetings or buffering during video calls with family.

Real-World Performance: Coverage is impressive—my 1,800 sq ft home now has strong signal everywhere, even in the basement (previously a communication black hole). It supports multiple carriers (I use Verizon), and the 5G/4G LTE boost is legit. Downloads are faster, and voice quality is crystal clear. My neighbor borrowed it for their metal-clad workshop, and it worked like magic there too.

Minor Quirks: The only hiccup? You NEED some outdoor signal to amplify. If your area has zero bars outside, this won’t create signal out of thin air (though the log-periodic antenna does help pull in weak signals). Also, keep the indoor/outdoor antennas at least 32ft apart to avoid feedback—a small trade-off for flawless performance.

Final Verdict: For under $200, this FCC-approved booster is a steal. Whether you’re battling rural dead zones or office-building signal blockers, it delivers. My only regret? Not buying it sooner!
