Ever notice how much better your cell phone signal strength is when you're outside? Whether you depend on a cell phone for social communication or to conduct business in your home, office or home office, in-building reception can be vital. You don't have to live with a lack of signal coverage in the environments that are most important to you: With the Wireless Extender zBoost Cell Phone Signal Booster for PCS Phones, you can have the cell phone signal reliability you need to improve coverage in your home or office noticeably. The Wireless Extender System for PCS Phones cell phone signal booster supports 1900 MHz PCS-based phones only; contact your service provider or dial 611 from your cell phone to verify that the 1900 MHz band is supported in your area.

    The Wireless Extender zBoost Cell Phone Signal Booster for PCS Phones improves signal strength through signal amplification, improving coverage up to 2500 square feet. If you need additional coverage, just add a Wireless Extender PCS Indoor Antenna (sold separately). Place the antenna high up in your attic and run the included RG-6 coaxial cable to the room where you'll keep the base. Once connected, you'll enjoy reduced or eliminated static and fewer dropped calls.

    The Wireless Extender zBoost Cell Phone Signal Booster for PCS Phones enhances additional wireless applications, as well, including text messaging, cell phone Internet use, and PDA messaging.

    Note: If you can place a call outside your home or office, the Wireless Extender zBoost Cell Phone Signal Booster for PCS Phones will help you by boosting the signal inside the building. If there is no signal outside, this unit will not give you any improvement in coverage. If you have a weak signal outside, such as in a rural or remote area, you can increase your coverage inside by installing a Wireless Extender PCS Outdoor Antenna (sold separately). A Wireless Extender Dual Band Car Unit is even available to extend your cell phone range in your car to help eliminate dropped calls.

    CARLOS -- guayama, PR   9/8/2010
    great product, great service
    MARK -- seattle, WA   8/18/2010
    I have a T-Mobile phone and if I switch to 2G I get tremendous coverage with this device, but it does not work with 3G. It would be nice to have an option for this. It does work and I'm happy that I bought it and I encourage others with similar coverage issues to invest in a device like this. Follow the instructions and take a look at the reviews from others. I got a lot from them.
    VINCENT -- kortenhoef, XX   7/22/2010
    After receiving the package in a well packed box, the device itself was not compatible with the GSM network in my country (The Netherlands). Therefor I sent back the device via a RMA. After receiving back the money, I will buy the CEL-version of the device. Hopefully you could add a list of countries where the device will be compatible, in the product description.
    MARK -- grapevine, TX   12/7/2009
    The unit does not work with my Iphone. I would be ver interested in a unit that works with the AT&T as the service is so poor in my area.
    DONALD -- centralia, IL   7/28/2008
    I just did not work at our rural home.
    GERARD -- ridgeland, MS   4/11/2008
    Simply doesn't work. performed all of the testing as described in the documentation, have the antenna located outside were there is a full signal. No improvement whatsoever.
    GARY -- roosevelt, OK   3/20/2008
    The product works pretty good in that I infrequently drop calls now instead of regularly. The installation and use is simple, quick, and easy.
    BRENDA -- northwood, ND   2/19/2008
    I made sure this was for my type of phone and performed the test that is required to confirm this. After setting the antenna outside on the mast it still does not give our phones any more signal than normal. I am not satisfied at all.
    LOUIS -- beaver falls, PA   2/5/2008
    extender is easy to install, but has only provided limited usage in our location. I am going to upgrade to the better antenna and hope that does the trick. J. Young
    GREG -- the woodlands, TX   10/27/2007
    Did not increase my cell signal at all. Product has been returned.
    JOHN -- brooklyn, NY   9/20/2007
    I use it in my house where cell phone signals melt away once you take a step away from the window. No magic bullet here, but it does seem to get a reliable signal to at least a few rooms.
    THERESA -- pinckney, MI   9/16/2007
    This has boosted my signal enough that where I would get dropped calls, I can now carry on conversations without interruption.
    SUDESHNA -- alameda, CA   8/20/2007
    I saw only a moderate increase in signal strength. I would suggest trying the product, but don't hesitate to return it before your 30 days are up if it doesn't work very well for you.
    MELISSA -- conway, SC   8/15/2007
    The product works great. I work in a building where most people get little to no signal strength. I installed the product in my office and I get full signal strength now!
    Thomas Bicanic -- Laguna Niguel   5/13/2010
    This thing worked great for me... put the antenna outside and now a able to use the phone inside the house.
    CGS in MI on Sprint -- lapeer, MI   4/26/2010
    total POS for me. Sometimes I get great signal but if I turn off amp there is no change. Antenna on highest point of roof where I get 3-4 bars on just phone, go inside and I have one bar. I feel something was wrong with this unit because the feed back indicator install light would come on when antenna was about 3 feet from unit and go out when about 5 ft away. if antenna and base are in same room it should take 30 feet before that light goes out. I'm sending it back and ordering a Wilson
    Houston -- prescott, AZ   3/24/2010
    It added one bar to my service level. Not a lot, but it's enough to keep me from loosing my connection.
    Stan Cook -- belfair, WA   7/5/2009
    Kind of works. Out site I have 2 bars. I installed the outside antenna with the repeater inside the living room. It does amp the signal but very inconsistent. Sometimes it shows 5 bars, sometimes 2 bars and sometimes no service. Also when it does show 5 bars I can pick up the phone walk 10 feet away and lost the signal. Does not help at all in the rest of the house. We do live in a fringe area and about 8 miles from the nearest cell tower. OH, and it is AT&T on a iPhone. I use an XLink blue tooth device to route the cell phone calls to our house phones. That works well and means my iPhone stay near the repeater and blue tooth XLink. Hope this helps.
    Bill -- san diego, California   10/20/2008
    I've used it in my suburban home for 2 years and am really glad I bought it. The external antenna is in my attic where I get a strong signal from Cingular. Booster is installed 2 floors below. I get great reception in line-of-sight to booster and improved reception throughout the house. We have Motorola Razr phones.
    Gail -- willow spring, NC   8/13/2007
    I really didn't think this was going to work when I first bought it. I had barely one bar of service in my house and always had to go outside to talk on the cell phone. We bought this and installed it and now we have 4-5 bars in the house(near the base unit). We love it, now that we don't have to go outside to talk! It is worth the money!
