If I have "no service" on my phone inside my home or outside, but I have service 100 yards up the road, will this help me???

The one I purchased for my daughter is based in her car not her home. However, she has service now outside her home when previously she did not. Also, she has service in the dead spots she used to have when traveling to work.

Just yesterday my grandson noticed that he had signal 2 blocks away, driving away. There was a large brick building between us and the house. If you have lath and plaster walls, that might reduce your signal a bit. I'd guess it will work just fine.

This antenna solely boosts cell phone signal from outside a building to inside. It will work verizon voice and data, not land line phone service. This is a directional antenna so you would need to aim it directly at the tower that has the least obstructions.

Hi Bud. It doesn't use phone coverage; it uses satellite visibility. If you don't have sky visibility blocked (for satellites), it will still show where you are.

it is true that your phone will be down if your internet is down your phone will be down, however i have used internet through charter and our local telephone co (century link) and have not experienced down time very very seldom. if your internet gets knocked off the red light will be on your router and all you do is turn it off for 30 seconds and then turn it back on and it comes right back. but if your electric to your home goes down you will also have no phone service unless you have an old rotary dial phone to use. my telephone with basic talk is 13.09 a month (taxes & fees included) with call waiting, voice mail, unlimited long distance, and caller id. compare this to your local carrier.

If you have any signal at all, should make it much better. I am on the road daily and rarely get dropped calls and can use in areas I couldn't without it.

No, it will not. That is really a function of the phone service you have. Whether you have one line or two lines, the phone company will see a "busy" on the line that is in use. Only if you have two lines, and the ability with your phone service to "call forward if busy", would a call to one line be able to be answered by this particular telephone on the second line.

I have picked up from that distance, without a lot of things blocking your signal. You can put this antenna outside when you use it, but if I do put it outside, I don't when it is raining, I always bring it back inside later on. Put it up high outside. There might be something you can pick up between your house and the Library that you didn't know about. Try different directions with the antenna itself. I love mine, using it right now! Good Luck!!

This product is for those situations that you are using wifi from a reliable source. It will boost the signal so you can receive a good wireless signal. If your landline broadband is poor, this will do nothing for that. I would contact the ISP and see if they can get you a more reliable connection.

I'm glad you request this question. This is a terrible product, and worst tech support. The signal drops out quite often. Echoing from time to time Cannot used the product well since I bought it. Finally I revert to my old land line. Iwon't recommend this product. When I terminate my service, Ooma is asking if I want to donate my unit I think for charity...Uh.

I have a metal roof on my house. I have the antenna mounted on the end of the roof closest to the cell tower. I am behind a hill that previously blocked all reception. I do have to have the phone close to the inside antenna (15' to 25') and not in the room where my wifi router is.

No it did nothing for my situation. I live in a valley about 2 miles from a tower. My signal is always 2 or less & I sent this back as it didn't change the signal at all. I even had a directional antenna.

Signal issue: the issue is not the phone. check your service, we live in a very remote wooded area and have no problems, my 7 yr old daughter even used it on the airplane when electronics notice was given we can use.

No! as far as i know it just gives you better pickup for your cell phone to reach out further. D

So...whats the question? lol Anyway, try going somewhere else and seeing if it gets a signal? Could be trees, buildings, a mountain, whatever blocking it from getting a signal. I often have trouble getting a signal at my home since there's a mountain behind my house. But if I go just 1 or 2 houses down the street I can get a signal pretty fast. Have the same issue with cell phone reception.

Hi. I hesitate to answer this because I am not sure of the exact range of these devices. However, I can tell you that it is being used for communication purposes from the "main house" to what most people would consider an In-laws quarters way on the other side. For the price and the quality of the device, the worst thing that could happen is that you would have to send it back. Probably worth the try! Hope this helps.
