How far from the antenna can my phone be?

The back of the phone has to be in contact with the Wilson pad, although you can have a protective phone case on your phone. I have a Lifeproof case and it works fine

I think your phone must be in the cradle to get the antennas signal. If u need to know how long the cable from antenna to cradle can be, I would call Wilson customer service. They were very helpful.

As long as the outside antena is facing the closest cell phone tower. the roof should not be a factor?

Sorry. I really couldn't tell on that, but I suspect that there would be a problem getting the software for the antenna on the phone and to work. Interesting thought though :) Have a great day !

All depends on how close you are to the transmitters, and if you have a clear view of the sky (no building or trees). I have mine outside at about 10-12 feet. I get all my local stations (within 20-30 miles), and I have no obstructions blocking the antennae

I would not recommend going wireless for this distance with all that metal in the line of sight. Tried on shorter rig and kept losing the signal.

The device does not specify the exact range but these are really only designed to transmit within a few feet. I would say 10-15' may be the maximum. I typically use it in the car sitting in a cup holder (4-6' from the radio antenna) and it works great.

about a foot and a half with a total of three feet and you can move antenna around for the best reception

I'm barely in the green zone; it's not going to work for you; no $20 antenna will; if you're that far away from stations, you need a serious antenna and preamp, carefully installed.

I would say 15-20 feet from the phone would still be no problem if there is no obstruction. Still clear within 15-20 feet.

reception seems to be 15 to 20 feet transmission 10 to 15. it varies with the quality of the transmission device on the receiving device but I would say 15 feet either way would be safe.

You're lucky with 4 feet. If I touch my phone it loses signal. If I switch to another app I lose signal (iPhone 4S and iPhone 5S). I also like a mile south of a WGN radio tower and a half mile North of a WBBM radio tower and 20 miles West of O'Hare airport.

I don't know, but can tell you that our broadcast towers are about 25 miles away..tho they are up high on a ridge with nothing in the way. It works fine at this distance.

The farthest I have gone is across my backyard, which is about 135 feet, without losing signal. This was an unobstructed view to my Samsung Note. If I went behind the shed the signal started to get choppy which was around the 135 foot mark.

About 3 miles max for me, while in Fl. Near ocean, antenna at about 20 ft. Up.

Have mine hooked up about 15 feet away from my phones with no problem. Haven't experimented with any further distance.

I have mine mounted at the corner of a 12'x24' metal awning and it works great. It is about 16' above the awning. the awning works as a ground plane. I live in Arnold Missouri and have talked all over the east coast from Florida to Canada, Texas, La, Georgia, Ca, Or,Wa and BC on a Galaxy 98vhp. can't beat the antenna.

I do not know personally - have not done a range test. Samsung's specs claim 150 meters (about 300 feet). Actual distance capability would of course vary, depending upon other factors such as interference, obstacles in the propagation path, etc. sorry i don't have a better answer.
