Very empowering
I installed this in my car for playing Ingress with friends and I just love how it can support multiple users/devices. It has allowed, in quite a few circumstances, for me and my friends to get strong, consistent 3G connections in iffy almost-dead zones, where signal would otherwise periodically drop off. More importantly, however, it has at least once also allowed me to get a data connection for navigation in a total dead zone when I was totally lost.There are of course places where even this booster does no good. Places like that include deep tunnels and heavily-wooded canyons -- places where you'd not expect any signal whatsoever to penetrate, and you'd need a BGAN terminal to connect to the internet. But even so, I've sometimes gotten just the tiniest trace of 2G or 3G signal in such places, which is just enough to deliver the payload and hit that target.It was also easy to install and I had fun doing just that. The cables are generously long and allowed me to route them under the upholstery. I recommend getting some 2-sided velcro strips that are close to the color of the upholstery for hiding/protecting the cable. That's how I did it; I ran the cables from the central console, down the ridge in the middle of the floor in back, and then under the rear seats, and I covered it up in patches of velcro applied directly to the upholstery. The main booster unit is ziptied to the frame of my car in the trunk, while the antenna is magnetized nearby and can be put on the roof and taken down just as easily, making it so that I can stow it away when I'm not using it and don't have to advertise the fact that I have it in the car.I'd definitely recommend this, but given its price I'd say think very carefully about how often you'd use it before purchasing it. Given how seldom I use it, it's more of a luxury item and a peace-of-mind thing, in the sense that I have an empowering piece of technology in my car for whenever I need it.

DID NOT WORK VERY WELL.

Updated: Works better after trial and error placement of antennas
The supplier did a really great job of getting this product to the customer. I received it about a week ahead of the promised delivery date.The product appears to work pretty well. However, the placement of the antennas is quite sensitive. If the Antennas are too close together, then the unit will shut down. For my Crew Cab truck, I have to position the antennas diagonally on opposite ends of the Cab before it will continuously operate. The instruction manual also recommends that the antennas be place 5' apart.Also, I wished that I had waited until Wilson releases their newer 4G model on the market.06/02/14 Update: Finally got the placement of the antennas in correct positions where the unit will stay working on my Tundra Crew Cab truck. The same antenna positions will work on a Chevy 4-door Truck. However, I could not get the unit to work anywhere on a Honda Element vehicle. Regardless, it works for my vehicle and now I am happy with the system. I am now able to use my cell phone almost anywhere on my remotely rural Mississippi farm, and in places that I could not use it before. No dropped calls, and no drop-outs in conversations. Having a cell phone booster is a MUST for anyone who works in remote locations. I will look into getting one to install in my house in the country now.

Didn't work as expected in West Texas and New Mexico oilfields
Didn't work as expected. Did not boost any signal. However, it could have been because of the West Texas and New Mexico oilfield locations, which is pretty far out. Before this model, had bought a cheaper model of this same brand at Best Buy and had to return it also. Was thinking this model would work, but didn't work as well. Had to return this one as well. Bought a cheap Samsung pre- paid flip phone (14.99) to use in the oilfields and it works great. Guess the old plain Jane phones work because they don't have all that junk on them that a smart phone has. Have 5 bars everywhere I go at work.

I only get a signal if I'm going through a city and they are pretty few and far between
I drive cross country on I-70 or I-80 several times a year. My family and business contacts cannot reliably reach me once I cross into Nebraska or Kansas, I only get a signal if I'm going through a city and they are pretty few and far between. I installed this unit before my last trip and it was so good I was streaming podcaasts all the way back! In Wyoming! In

Great cell booster
This really improved the cell signal from our remote job site. I had the Wilson sleek that worked ok, but this is way better and you can run more than one phone at a time on it, with the sleek we could improve signal maybe 1-2 bars and intermittent 3G, but with this in the same location as the sleek we get 3bars and 3G which is great. The candy bar transmitter inside the vehicle could have better range - you almost have to be right next to it before you get a boost, it is perfect of you use a blue tooth device - I just set my phone on the candy bar and use my headset.

zero improvement on several phones
Three of us that work together have different cell phones and carriers. None of us could get phone reception or data on apple or android. The cheaper single stationary 3g phone booster at least gives me a signal from time to time that wilson makes. This model makes no difference.

Most people do not work in places that I do so it would be a very good investment for those who use there phones a lot
I live and work in very steep mountains of Calif. Very patchy service or weak signal here. This booster works VERY well. The only problem I have is keeping the magnet antenna on top of the cab with low tree branches. Most people do not work in places that I do so it would be a very good investment for those who use there phones a lot.Phil
