Title: WORKS VERY WELL
Review: I work out of my car. I have poor service in many areas across a large territory. Calling is often a challenge. This large antennae may look goofy on my small Prius but it's an effective solution.It comes with a signal amplifier and an inside antaenna. It's easy to install and non-invasive. It runs off the cigaret lighter outlet and the magnetic mount makes it easy to remove for car washes and dates. You have to buy the magnetic mount separately. I recommend getting the extender for the antennae to maximize effectiveness. Otherwise it comes with a mount that you have to attach to your car.No monthly service fees. Well worth the investment. You can get both on Amazon. It's called weboost Overland model. I tried a cheaper model but this one's better.

Title: YES! IT DOES WORK
Review: My carrier is AT&T and if you have them, then you already know they have been on the decline in terms of celluar signal or data signal, I tavel out of the DFW area to the west coast and to the east cost. signal is terrible. that dreaded 4 dots or sos displaying on the phone is a bummer, i know. well Ive traveled to new york and as far as california testing this product. I can gauurantee this weboost booster is a life changer. I can honestly say I lost signal once and that was on I10 comming and going down that mountain before you get to desert springs in California. I was able to maintain signal for calls and netflix, youtube and spotify worked great. If your are a traveler I have to reccomend this weboost to you. I was about to spend over $1k on a new phone before this purchase and i am glad i tried this out first since you have 30 days to try it. Kinda pricey but well worth it.

Title: Works great when its finally setup
Review: If you have a fully built out rig then this would be pretty easy to install but for those of us without extensive roofracks mounting this is a pain in the ass. I thought I shouldnt have an issue putting it on a fullsize truck but there is just no place to mount it without drilling into my vehicle. I could have rigged something in the bed but then I cant use a bed cover. I ended up needing to make my own stake pocket adapter so that I can take it on or off without making permanent modifications to my truckOnce it is in place it does what it says on the tin. You just have to remember that it isnt magic and wont make a signal where there is none.

Title: Worth the money
Review: Itâs hell of an expensive purchase but itâs worth every penny. Setting it up part is a little bit tricky to figure out based on your body type of the car once it installed it works perfectly fine. Itâs the best purchase that I have ever made. I bought two of them from two different cars. I didnât have to go through there Customer Service I just watched videos and it made sense, but I still have to take it to the, auto body workshop to set it up overall signal strength has been improved. I would definitely recommend this if you love to travel. It boosts signal strength.

Title: It works for boosting, I still need to see how it works overlanding
Review: First off if you want a really clean install with waterproof roof pass through I suggest buying a scanstrut pass through, I changed the screws to machine screws with nylon lock nuts and washers for the jeep hard top. I attached the module to my MPS molle overheads. The antenna was easy to install on my rhino rack roof rack, needed to get 2 longer 6x1.0 bolts and fender washers for the track adapters.

Title: After a week of testing where I needed it most...
Review: tl;dr: In areas where you have just a little cell service, the WeBoost will show you more bars, but won't provide any actual improvement in the signal strength or stability. In areas where you have a signal, but not quite enough to stably connect calls or use internet over an LTE connection, the WeBoost will not improve or stabilize the connection, and you will still not have the ability to make calls or access the internet.I tried using this in an area where the service was consistently in the 1-2 bars range (db less than -105, just west of Middlebury, VT). Relying on the bars of service shown on your phone is a feel-good measure--I used the iPhone Field Test mode described at the end of this review. This device did improve the number of bars I could see on my phone. I can consistently get from 1-2 bars to 3-4 bars, depending on how close to the internal antenna I'm willing to hold the phone. What did not change, however, was the actual connection to the nearest tower.I tried several experiments:1) Using the phone with the WeBoost system unplugged (ie, just the phone connection)2) Using the phone with the WeBoost system active and standing next to the internal antenna3) Using the phone with the WeBoots external antenna disconnectedThe manufacturer claims suggested to me that there would be a significant difference between conditions #1 and #2. The only difference I could find was an increase in bars. By running Field Test Mode and looking at the signal strength from the tower, I was unable to see any difference (the db improvement was nonexisting or negligible). From a practical standpoint, making calls was no different between #1 and #2 (no difference in clarity, dropped calls, or lost connections). Internet applications ran just as poorly in #2 as in #1. At times when I was able to check email with the WeBoost active, I could disconnect it and still load email. At times when I had no internet access without the WeBoost on, powering it up did not allow me to access basic internet services. In this area, where the cell signal received was 1-2 bars and db received was around -105, the WeBoost did not improve my cell service.I then looked to see if the external antenna was doing anything by disconnecting it (#3) and comparing it to #1. This was surprising: having the external antenna disconnected had no effect on the db strength. Of course I got more bars of service, but there was no improvement at all in the db strength of signal.After using this system for a week under these conditions, I FOUND THAT IT OFFERED NO IMPROVEMENT IN CELL SERVICE, DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THE COST OF THE SYSTEM. I did continue trying it while driving though the Adirondacks. During this drive, I consistently had 0-2 bars of service on my phone, but was unable to access basic cell service or internet throughout most of the trip whether or not the WeBoost system was powered up. This seems to me to be exactly the conditions where you would want this system--poor but detectable cell service, boosted to useable levels. I would pay $500 for that and suffer the questions about the strange equipment on my truck. MY EXPERIENCE WAS THAT THE WeBoost SYSTEM WAS UNABLE TO DELIVER CELL SERVICE UNDER EXACTLY THE CONDITIONS YOU WOULD NEED IT TO. I did submit a support ticket describing my experience and asking about the possibility of getting a defective unit, but >48 hours later still had not received a response.CONCLUSION: This is a feel-good device. If you have cell service, the WeBoost will give you even more bars (and maybe more db), but won't actually improve anything over what your phone alone can achieve. If you have marginal service, using the WeBoost system will not improve the stability or strength of your signal. And if you were hoping to use the WeBoost system to stretch your cell service into areas where your phone registered a signal but it wasn't usable, you will still not be able to make calls or have a usable internet connection (eg, for email, basic internet functionality, or Google Maps). I did use this mostly while immobile, so maybe the positive reviews reflect the device's ability to provide just a tiny enough improvement to prevent dropped calls in small dead areas between towers while you're moving. Maybe. Under those conditions, you would not notice the limitations that I found when consistently using the WeBoost in areas of poor to marginal cell service. I can also confirm that after a week, the hardware on the mounting bracket begins to rust.Previous review: I don't see this doing much more than marginally improving signal. Yes, I have one bar, and this goes up to 2 bars of service with the device switched on, but running field test mode you can see maybe a 12 db boost. I'm going to have to see if this is a useful increase, but just my first impression, I don't think it's worth it. The times I've tried it I've been parked, and my connectivity isn't any worse when I shut off the WeBoost 4G-X OTR. If I'm showing one bar of service I can still do all I need to online; shutting off the WeBoost doesn't degrade the performance I'm getting. I'll be looking for an area where I'm getting 0-1 bars of service and trying it there to see if the WeBoost is worth the cost...hopefully before my 30 days are up.Field Test ModeTurn off your Wi-Fi before beginningDial *3001#12345#*Press the call buttonField test mode menu will show up
