What customers say
This amplifier is recognized for its exceptional boosting power, reliably transforming areas with no or one bar into functional voice connectivity. Users respect its robust, heavy-duty construction, suggesting high quality and longevity. However, the core sentiment is tempered by its dated design. The required direct cable connection to devices feels restrictive compared to modern repeaters, adding complexity and cost via necessary adapters. Furthermore, its focus on older 3G signals limits its appeal for modern data needs. It remains a powerful niche solution for extreme signal deprivation, but convenience is sacrificed for maximum gain.
