I live in a remote area where reception is spotty at best (verizon). ATT owns most of the towers and kicked verizon out so no phones work but mine--I can call from impossible places.

Yes it is ! You will be amazed with the increase in signal. My husband uses it in the middle of the woods.

I bought for my daughter since she lived where she had no cell phone service. This works great for her.

we had no bars..with the wilson we can now make cell phone calls....some calls are dropped..but is better than no cell service..you should give it a try.

Grace this is great if your phone is 3G. My Husband up graded to a 4g phone and it no longer works, he is an over the road truck driver and used it to get great signal. Now we are disappointed we spent all that money and it does not work anymore with the 4G. Hope this helps.

Basically BB phones should have the BBM app. Maybe that someone was just having some problems with the data plan that he/she has. As long as you have a data plan that can support and connect to BB network, it should work fine.

I haven't had any issues with reception due to the phone. Its all been the provider, although even that has been very little to none. Been a pretty good phone for me!

I have a cordless system without an answering machine. I still get my VM from my phone carrier. The speaker part is right on each handset and works very well. You can also use this as an intercom. Try looking at what Uniden has to offer. A blinking light lets you know if you have VM, then just press the envelope button and it dials up your VM automatically. I hope this helps. Pat T

I bought this phone a coupple of months ago and I can´t make it to work. I can talk but I don´t have internet, the service provider says it´s not fully unloked, that the internet service is attached to Verizon. Any help before I ask for a refound!!!

Yes it works great, without it I have only 1 and sometimes 2 bars, with it I have 3+ bars, I have one in my truck for my cell phone and one in my camper for my MIFI Liberate.

Not sure if it will work for Verizon customers but it will give you all your bars and it plugs into your Internet cable works great with at& t sevice

If you have a standard phone jack...this phone is a standard no frills phone. It has no electrical cord or batteries for functions you do not need for a phone to make a call or receive a call. It is not an alarm. It is not a hands free. It is not a cordless. I was tired of hearing garbled or diminished staticky reception. This phone has beautiful clarity which we have not experienced for YEARS! We had phones in this house which were obviously inferior. NOW to your most important question...keep or make sure you have a true land line. We bundled our cable, home phone, and internet with a cable company. When we first subscribed 10 years ago, it was questionable if the phone would still work during power outages and/or with 911 OR when cable service goes out. We still on occasion will experience a problem when the cable service goes completely dead. Check with your service provider and grill them on your concerns. This phone will more than likely not be the problem. This is a standard old fashioned phone that is still manufactured as a quality product because businesses and hotels/motels need to have these. Cellphones are unreliable and overrated and do not serve the primary purpose RELIABLY to call someone when you NEED to call someone. I hope my observations help.

Yes but you have to call Verizon direct to get it connected and they will make a fuss that you have such a relic. The relic, for me, is the best phone. It is easy to hold, use and nobody wants it!

CDMA, double minutes, and on the Verizon network. Kinda miss mine, actually. Its keyboard and I got along well, and its radio section was excellent. (Meaning great coverage where other phones may not be so great in fringe areas)

It depends on your service plan. I use the phone for texting without a problem and don't have a data plan on my phone Contract

It works fine for me. I use two aids and do not get any feedback issues when using our cell phones. I don't have a land line.

If you are getting only one or two bars (dots) on your cell phone while outside, don't expect much on the inside. You will probably be able to talk and text inside, as long as you do it very near (within 3 ft. of the transmitter). This is what I am having to do. I also have a weak signal where I live.

Yes, I would be careful about doing it yourself. I followed the instructions acutely and watched youtube videos to guide me. Unfortunately, after I assembled the new iPhone case the antenna for my phone would say I was only getting 1 bar of service and I live in metro detroit. Before I had full bars but at times I would be driving on the freeway and drop calls unexpectedly. Be careful on putting the phone back together because you might think you did everything correct and then have a mistake like me. That's my experience. Hope this helps.

Yes, I think so. We bought it for an extra phone to be used only occasionally for a few events a year and for the voicemail. The previous phone we had for this organization was so old it didn't work at the location we had for the events. This phone is a good current phone and appears to work very well for texting and phone calls. I believe it would work for other functions and even internet, etc. if you want it to.

If the caller presses the code, the Telebouncer disappears and you have a normal phone system. Be sure and tell everyone you WANT to hear from to type in the code. Many folks are initially put off by this if they are not expecting it. After they see how it works, most want one too. :)

Its great. However you need to ensure you have your carriers info just in case you have to go into the setting. I found this info from settings in the actual phone provided by the carrier.
