weBoost Drive Sleek OTR - Model 470235 - Portable Signal Booster for Semi-Trucks - 5G & 4G LTE Cell Service Booster - Works with All US Carriers - FCC-Approved

This booster just boosts the signal from the cell tower to your phone which needs to be in the phone cradle. We use it primarily for data when in remote areas. This allows us to do Google Maps to get directions or find a restaurant. It seems to add almost one bar to the signal when it is turned on, so can use the internet in places in places we couldn't before. It doesn't do miracles. There still needs to be a cell signal. Discovered that when at a campground, that even though the signal was boosted enough to be usable, that the internet was still slow. Learned a lesson that prepaid phone plans get throttled when lots of people are using internet.Did have a problem when the outside antenna got damaged, I ordered a replacement antenna choosing one from the list in the back of the manual. Unfortunately though it looked identical, it had the wrong connector (SMA male). Went to weboost.com and used the online chat. They said the antennas are not available separately for the weboost which didn't make sense since there are a bunch listed in the manual. Anyway they are sending me one as a courtesy, but currently are back-ordered. Still I urgently needed an antenna for trip. Found an SMA female to SMB plug adapter on Amazon that I was able to get quickly. It's working great and ready for the trip.Pros:- after connecting the cables and powering on, there is no need to configure - it just works.- can move between vehicles.- great support from weBoost.Cons:- the light on the cell phone cradle is bright and very annoying at night*** Big warning *** be careful to remove outside antenna before going through a car wash!

Verizon is my carrier. Despite living in the middle of a city, cell service at my home is weak due to hilly topography. I did a test run at my home and the Drive Sleek did nothing to improve the signal.However, I really purchased it to use while camping so I could have some flexibility with the frequent meetings and emergency contacts that are a part of my job. At the first campground where I tried it, my phone by itself had 1 bar of LTE and would hunt between that and 3G and 1X signals. The Drive Sleek gave me 3 bars of LTE, voice quality that mostly didn't fade out, but NO DATA. Mind you, I was in a stationary position for the week, so any voice dropouts at all were due to the Drive Sleek. The no data thing was a severe problem and Verizon wasn't able to solve it. Not amused.At the second campground where I tried the Drive Sleek, I had one bar of LTE without the booster, even with the iPhone in a magnetic case. With the booster, I had NO SIGNAL AT ALL (magnetic case removed). Adjusting the position of the antenna (rotating various directions, putting it on top of my trailer, suspending it from a tree branch, etc.) made no difference. When I got home, I made arrangements for its return.Be aware that you have to "hide" the booster cradle from the antenna or they will interfere with each other. This is true of all boosters and not a flaw with this product. Wilson supplies a generous length of cable - maybe 25 feet or so. I used the full cable length - the antenna perched on top of my trailer and the booster sitting on the picnic table, but best results were achieved when I "hid" the booster cradle from the antenna by placing the cradle behind the open lid of my metal camp stove. Wilson warns you about this in the installation instructions. The antenna cannot be placed near a sunroof. The metal roof on your car must act as a radio frequency sheild between the antenna and the cradle. While not all of us are fortunate enough to have a Volvo XC 60 or XC 90, be aware that this kit won't work with those cars. The sunroof on those vehicles runs the full length of the SUV, leaving you no place to put the antenna. Wish I'd known that before purchasing or I wouldn't have bought it at all.

I have property in an area of National Forest where there is little or no service. Texts com thru but cell service is spotty at best. This booster immediately gave me great service. I was very surprised and absolutely pleased and impressed. I was able to drive thru the forest with a YouTube program on my phone. Never lost service. Happy Happy . So glad I finally gotThis device!

I have used this for a week and I am pleased with the results. It is important to know that, when your phone says no bars you will probably unable to get a signal. What this can do is to provide a better receiver and let you place it up higher than your phone receiver. I am using a Samsung phone for both phone and data. Using this typically gives me 2 more bars. In a so so area I got the max amount of data I could expect in a good area. In a sketchy area where the connection would come and go, showing 2 bars at best but providing almost no data I mainly got 3-4 bars and a usable data stream. It was slow but I could use it. It won't give you broadband. It won't make a dead area work. It just gives up to 2 bars more. You need to put an antenna on the roof. It can be fancy and permanent or it can be stuck on a board that is put up there when I get where I am staying.

Lo he usado con AT&T y un celular ya bastante viejo (4.5 años).Estuve probando el amplificador en zonas donde viajo y que anteriormente tenía solo una "barrita" de señal, por lo que era muy dificil tomar llamadas y casi imposible navegar en internet.Con el amplificador instalado adecuadamente, fácilmente puedo crear un hotspot para la laptop y aguanta hasta llamadas por zoom. La velocidad no es la mejor, pero definitivamente puedo decir que sí funciona.Le doy 4 estrellas porque el precio es bastante elevado pero si cumple.

No me permite descargar la aplicación en México. En la descripción del producto dice que se puede utilizar en mi país. Quien me puede dar soporte sobre el tema

Producto muuuy prometedor pero la realidad es que deja mucho que desear. Lo estuve monitoreando durante 1 semana, a lo mucho en áreas donde existe cobertura aún llegaba a bajar la señal, revise y solo aumentó en tiempo real de 8 a 10 db, para el costo no vale la pena, aún así hubo dos ocaciones que se cortó la llamada. Un bonito sujetador para tu teléfono si es lo que quieres.
