Does it plug into your phone? I don't get a signal where I am living. Will this enable me to talk on the phone, I.e. get more than one bar on the phon

No you have to buy the micro cell tower from AT&T; then this plugs in to get more range for the tower!

it has to have Internet service that plugs into it and you have to set it up with your 911 address, once it is connected via GPS you have bars that allows your phone to be used with many bars. You have to go online to setup your phone number etc. A little difficult to connect everything but well worth it. AT &T; provides excellent help by calling a number if you have problems.

No, unfortunately not. It plugs into the 3G MicroCell to help it get a GPS signal. A 3G microcell, along with a high speed Internet line will make your AT&T; phone work where you otherwise don't have cell signal. I imagine other carriers have similar devices.

This CAN plug into your phone if you have an antenna port on your phone, but it's meant to expand the antenna on a GPS or for something like the MicroCell I use at home to expand my cellphone signal using my home broadband internet connection.

The microcell converts your internet connection to a wireless cell signal. You need the Microcell from AT&T or Verizon (it is specific to network). The antenna from Amazon, simply helps the Microcell get a better read on GPS satellites. I had to keep resetting the Microcell, and this antenna fixed that issue. Unfortunately, this antenna is only an added component to the Microcell device, which costs another $100-200.

Hi Mary this is not something that plugs in to your phone. You need to purchase a mcell tower from your cell phone provider. It is a micro tower that connects to your Internet and gives people who can't reception in their home the ability to. This antenna connects to the mcell tower to give you an even better signal.

Mary,It does not plug into the phone. You must have broadband internet. You place the device near a window so that it can "see" a GPS satellite. You plug an internet cable (CAT-5) into the device. It then provides access to the cell network. Do not confuse the microcell GPS box with the antenna. The antenna plugs into the box if you do not have window access. The antenna can then be placed outside with a long cable coming back to the microcell GPS box. If you go to the local ATT store they should provide you with one of these boxes for free if you are living in an area that does not have good cell coverage. That's how I got my box. I had to get an antenna separately as I do not have window access. Mary,It does not plug into the phone. You must have broadband internet.

No, it does not plug into your phone. It plugs into the AT&T; Microcell antenna jack. You need to go to the AT&T; store and tell them you cannot get reception at your home. If you are lucky, they will give you---for free---a Microcell. Follow the directions to the letter when installing it. This antenna helps the Microcell connect to the AT&T; network. With the Microcell in place, you will have maximum bars. After I installed my Microcell and added this antenna to the Microcell, my reception is exceptionally good and reliable.

No, it doesn't plug into a phone. It plugs into an AT&T; MicroCell. The MicroCell is a device that gives you cell signal in your home by routing calls over your internet connection. By law, these can only be used where AT&T; is allowed to offer service. The MicroCell has a GPS inside to get your location and make sure your area is approved. This antenna does not boost cell signal at all, but it can be used with the MicroCell to boost the GPS signal used to determine your location, which is handy if you can't place the MicroCell near a window.

You should be able to bring up the signal strength on the phone without connecting it. I have Droid phones and my wife and son watched the signal on the phone settings while I turned the antenna. I installed the booster in the summer of 2013 and have been very happy with it. My rural house had spotty coverage on both floors and now with the booster I can walk through out the house without an issues. I also have the booster cradle in my truck and it works great.

Yes it really does work, if you are in an area that is just not getting a bar it will pull it in enough to get a bar or two. If you are in an area that there is no chance of reception than nothing works. I find it helps from not dropping calls and picking up calls that normally you would not get. My first one a couple of years ago quit working even though the light came on so I just bought another one and can now get those calls I was missing.

This can be confusing. My understanding is that this device is for data amplification, which is whatI'm using it for, specifically Verizon's 4g lte technology. Phone signals as I understand, are in the 3GFrequency spectrum and this device will not do phone(voice). I suggest you call a technical rep at theSite you are looking at this device and confirm what I have just stated. Good luck.

It will pick up signal from a home 500 ft away, but it depends on different factors such as: topography, surrounding vegetation, and others. If it is a flat and clear area you should have no problem getting signal, but i cannot guarantee 3 bars.

I don't know the actual reason of your problem but I can share the little issue I had and hope it helps. Initially few time I was able to hear the other end but they won't be able to hear me. I started dialling with the speaker on and then changed to handset as required.

We live in an earthborne house (3 sides underground) we had 1 bar to noo service everwhere in our house. We got the Wilson electronic device and now have 3 to 4 bars everywhere in the house, even the back rooms. To us, its well worth the money. We have the outside device pointed toward the nearest cell phone tower (doesnt have to be your carrier's tower, then locate the inside receiver in a central location within the house.

You have to attach a standard phone cable to the wall jack. You can buy a splitter so that the phone and the unit uses the same wall jack; very cheap. The phone has no part in the process since the unit dials out to any number(s) you select. I have a portable phone for my house phone but as I said, it plays no role in the call out process. The unit works well after you understand the instructions.

You know, I've never actually thought of it. lolI had to check and see if it made a difference.The results were, it doesn't. At least not with a signal that has 3 bars and walls in between.Hope that helps the craziness. ;-)

I have purchased 2 different styles of the Wilson Cell phone signal extenders. They both work very well. We put one in my husband's shop building, and he has not had a dropped call since. We are in a funny spot where you can have 4 bars in one spot, walk 2 feet and have only one bar of signal. Both of the units I have are operating in the United States. I guess I don't know if cell towers are different in diferent countries. If the technology is pretty much the same, the you should have a good result as long as you can get at least one bar of signal where you live.

Actually I have the reverse problem. The TV link works great but having hard time with phone. I was told that the Compilot while it can connect with multiple blue tooth devices, only 1 will work at a time.

I got very little signal range. I was wanting the same thing you want. I had to have the phone in the same room and even then it didn't pick up the ring half the time. I took it out and took out the three phone system and just keep the cell phone near by. The Xlink is in the garage in it's box. I was using it on a flip Samsung phone that we put the old home number on.. I never tried my LG. It could have been the phone

I'm sorry I can't answer that question. I hooked mine to a Wilson Sleek cellphone amplifier (with excellent results, I might add. I now receive a 2-3 bar signal in a remote camp where there was zero signal with the Sleek and a high gain omni antenna.) But back to your question, I called the Wilson Customer Service people and they told me just what connectors to use. Customer reviews indicate one of the connectors is fragile, so I ordered a spare.

It may not be. This product can make the signal you have distribute throughout the house, but it will not amplify the signal. So if your best antenna location only has 1 bar, then that's best your house will get. If there's a spot you can get 2-3-4-5 bars outside, then get this product. Otherwise you need to move up to the more expensive units.

I honestly don't know. I have had little problem connecting to any service. You're going to get those times where you're put in the middle of no where, and have one bar, but I have not lost service completely with this phone.
