 WORKSJun 12, 2010
By Chris
WORKS
A couple things to bear in mind:
* The magnetic antenna needs to be grounded on something metal for it to work.
* The phone must be set inside the cradle at all times, so you'll need a bluetooth headset so you're not holding the whole contraption with multiple wires up to your face.
It boosted my sprint signal about 2-3 bars on average depending on antenna placement and how well it was grounded.

Rediscover your iPhone in a dead zone!!!Jun 03, 2010
By A. khan
I just moved into a new office cube at the first floor of an old building. The entire area where I am at is considered a giant dead zone due to the high wireless head set activity. I used to get no signal from AT&T, period. Once I bought this item, I was anxious to try it out since I received the product over a long weekend. Oh my!! this thing gets FIVE BARS!! no kidding. I am rediscovering the iPhone I love in a dead zone. The only negative I can think of is the fact that the phone has to be on the cradle at all times to get signal. This is fine by me as I do not move around with the phone when I am at work. Thank you Wilson !!!!

Wow!!!Nov 30, 2010
By R. Moore
"Lobo"
I rarely review items, but this I can't pass on. When I got my first cell phone I was hoping that I'd be able to drop my land line and just have one phone bill. However, I live in "the boonies" and cell reception is iffy, so that idea was tabled. I've upgraded my cell phone a few times and now have a smartphone. I love the phone, but my home signal is still the same. Periodically I'd check to see if booster technology had evolved to where I could benefit at a RESONABLE price. When I saw the ad for this product it sounded too good to be true. I'm a skeptic, but willing to give somethings a try. When I found it on Amazon I figured I'd give it a try and if it didn't work, then I'd return it (returns to Amazon have always been hassle free for me...). Well, no worry - IT WORKS AS ADVERTISED!!! With the home adapter kit I now have 4 full bars on my BB Storm. Before I was lucky to have one bar. And I'm NOT exaggerating. The only downside is that I have to use my bluetooth headset because the phone has to remain in the cradle, which would make it pretty awkward to use. But, for me, that's no big problem, as I'm used to using bluetooth when I'm traveling, so it isn't a deal breaker. This will be my LAST month of paying for a separate land line (in 4 months this product will have paid for itself). I HIGHLY recommend this for anyone who lives in cell phone fringe reception areas and would like to drop their land line. Oh, and it's simple to shift it into the car for on-the-road signal boosting, where it also shines.

This really works! Boost your cell phone signal...Even for AT&T Service on the iPhone 4Aug 26, 2010
By Eagle Vision
Anytime I see a product that claims to boost signal of any type of device, I get skeptical. I have tried various products in the past that never worked...Until now.
The Wilson Electronics Cell Phone Signal Cradle is a well designed signal booster that utilizes an external antennae and an external power source to boost cellular signal. My test phone: The iPhone 4.
What comes in the box
Phone cradle with adapters
DC Adapter
External magnetic antenna
Construction
The cradle is made of hard plastic and has a padded surface for the phone to rest. A green indicator light on the lefthand side of the cradle lets you know the cradle is on. The plastic grips on the side are flexible enough to fit the phone into the cradle easily. There is an adhesive backing that attaches the cradle to any flat surface of your choosing. I would have preferred additional backings or mounts for users who move from one location/vehicle to another. The cradle rotates on a ball and socket joint allowing the user to view the screen in the vertical or horizontal position; this will facilitate the use of the GPS capabilities of the iPhone 4. The antenna has a magnetic mount that sticks to any metallic surface (preferably the top of the vehicle) and this connects to the cradle with a coaxial cable connection. The DC adapter plugs into the DC port in your vehicle.
The cradle allows the user to plug in their charging cable and the top of the iPhone is unobstructed to allow the phone to "Sleep".
Use
Just place your phone into the cradle and watch it work. In just a few seconds, I watched as my "One Bar" 3G signal in a weak coverage area go up to "Four Bars". That was impressive. This weak coverage area that I drive through is notorious for dropped cell phone calls. That could be the difference between getting a Tow Truck or walking a few miles in the dark with an LED flashlight in the middle of the night. You get my drift?
I took the cradle and brought it to work where there are lead walls in my department (Radiology Department) and there is poor signal ("Two Bars" Edge or "One bar" 3G). I took the DC adapter and plugged it into my DC to AC converter. Again, I went from "One Bar" to "three bars" 3G! As I moved the antenna from one location to another, I saw that it increased the signal to "Four Bars" 3G!
This will surprise you but the sticker says that this is MADE IN THE USA!!!
Verdict
This product works!
Highly recommend it for the iPhone 4.

Works as advertisedMay 24, 2010
By D. Handy
My new office at work has terrible reception. Constantly dropped calls or the voice drop-outs made communicating impossible. Ordered this hoping it would solve the problem. It did. Double the signal strength in my office. Now my calls are crystal clear. I also purchased their 'office adapter kit' which came with a suction cup antenna mount and 110v charger. Inadvertently ordered the wrong one. The antenna mount works great, but came with the wrong charger. No big deal, I have an extra USB charger or use my laptop. Both work. If you do order the office kit make sure you order the one with the correct charger. The cradle itself is easy to use, seems very robust. I'm very please with this purchase. Worth every penny. Way to go Wilson. Amazon had the best price and free shipping. Can't beat that.
