We have Verizon Wireless Phone service, i.e., NOT Cell Phone Service. Will this help boost our signal from two bar to three?

We used the "Yagi" zBoost directional antenna to boost our signal from about 1 bar to 5 in Moon Canyon near Leavenworth, WA, where it is very difficult to get a clear signal. Our system uses two different antennas: the fish-bone-like Yagi antenna and the square antenna. We receive both Voice and Data and these are hooked up to the ZBoost amplifier that is inside of the house, which then redistributes the signal to our Verizon cell phones and our computer which uses a Verizon MIFI device to receive the signal for the computer. This arrangement works great, because we don't have cable, or any other land-line for our computer.

Moon Cyn. Helpful as I need something like this along a river and within the coastal range of Oregon. I cannot see spending hundreds of dollars for a system. Can you make a recommendation on the antenna and amp that is reasonably priced and powerful. I am with Sprint on a smartphone. Thanks for any suggestions. Gary

Yes, as long as you can get a signal it will help for a stronger signal. It did for me.

As I understood it the Zboost worked on both frequencies, both data and voice. You need more than just the Antenna, you also need the amplifier. The Antenna gathers the signal the amplifier delivers it to your phone. Find out the frequency of the signal your are trying to improve and then look at the frequency of the antenna in the specs, they have to match. The ATT service I had was dual frequency, but I used satellite for my network so my phone went to that for data rather than using the antenna.

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.

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.

The Motorola signal booster I purchased did nothing to improve the signal strength of my system (although I was looking for a better cable TV signal) and it knocked out my internet signal. For my system it was a waste of time and money (I have Comcast as an internet / TV / Phone provider) your situation may be different.

Definitely. That was my scenario and the Moto Booster able to improve the quality of the reception and save me two antennas. salu2.

does this boost your 4g ? for example if i'm at an area with 3g will it boost it up to 4g?

No. This is a dual frequency band amplifier, it will boost the signal strength for the cell phone (like Verizon's') signal that is transmitted from the cell tower and also will boost the signal from your cell phone back to the cell tower.if you have an internet PCS 'air card' or 'hot spot' card it will boost those signals also so that you can get better data transfer rates on your computer while using the internet.

I am not sure. But is has raised my iPhone 5 and husbands Verizon phone to 4 bars of signal. Love it

I love this unit after having purchase 4 of them, but I can't say it help with a better signal.

If you had no signal present before you added it , it probably won't help you. But if you have a week signal it may as it did for me. Sorry it didn't help the others.

Nichole, This is device is WiFi Booster. It makes your internet signal stronger thus expanding the area of coverage. This device has nothing to do with your wireless or mobile service (i.e. voice calls). The main purpose of this device is to increase your internet signal so you can use it throughout your house or apartment. For instance, if you use your mobile phone to access the internet and you have a weak internet signal as a result of a distance then this device is for you since it will increase the distance of your in home internet coverage. Also, if you use your verizon service to make calls through the internet then the answer is yes, it should expand your area of coverage and consequently boost you verizon signal, but that's only if you use your phone to make calls over the internet. This device is only to boost internet signal on your mobile device (e.g. mobile phone, tablet, notebook, etc.) and not the regular phone signal.

It will strengthen the signal that you are distributing through you house. I do not know how well it will work in your situation, but it should make marginal signals better..

I'm not sure..... I know if you have a signal it will make it stronger....good luck!

My experience has been that it works for both, but only if you have a fairly weak signal to begin with. If I have three or four bars on my signal, I get little or no results. If I have one or two bars, I get great results with 3G or 4G. It will increase by at least one or two bars. It seems to have at least as good, or even better results with my verizon phone as with my jetpack. I would highly recommend this antenna as well as all the products I have purchased from Wilson.

If you mean will this help your mifi get a better signal from Verizon, no. This is designed to pick up wifi signals. Your mifi takes a cell phone signal and converts it to a wifi signal in your house. The frequencies are very different. This will not improve your Verizon signal. Instead you should look into Yagi antennas that are made for cell phone reception. They are made, but I don't know if you would be able to interface those antennas with a mifi unit.

Yes if your cell is receiving one bar at 4g the DataBlast will Amplify that signal incoming and outgoing. I work in one of the largest Steel Mills on earth with very thick metal walls and know of at least 6 different departments that use the zBooster to gain Phone reception in this Mill. So if a bunch of Mill rats depend on it you can too!

Yes it will improve your voice calls it may or may not improve your Internet connection. It works as a repeater it takes the signal from the Cell Tower and boosts it if you place the antenna as high as possible and face it towards the nearest cell tower you will see a massive increase in signal.

Hi, Unfortunately, no. We've had this booster installed in our apartment since we received it and it has not made any difference whatsoever. We live out in the middle of nowhere and the building has some kind of aluminum or metal on the outside, so I don't know if it interferes with the signal. Regardless, we have not seen any difference in the signal. I'm not trying to trash the product, maybe it works with someone who lives in a more densely populated area, but it just doesn't help us at all. I wish I would have saved the money for something else. God Bless You
