    Any one using any type of signal amplified boosting device?

    I have a Wilson Electronics product.

    Am curious how the product you may have is working.

    Good? Bad? problems?

    I have the Sleek unit. You using the same one?

    It does work, very good. both for phone and air card.
    I am getting a new 12'' antenna for it. Wilson tech says with that antenna, the unit will be at maximum gain. can't get any better.

    Does these devices work with the data connection for Internet connection or just voice? I used these things 5+ years ago and loved them.

    I see Wilson does have a 4g booster available. But I'm going to assume it only works with 4g, and if you hit a 3g area you're SOL?

    Lordy these things are expensive.

    Not sure about that. Call them, the tech support types are real good and will walk you thru just about any thing.

    Nice info guys. I always got mixed reviews on signal boosters.A lot of them say that they didn't work and there wasn't any difference in signal strength. I am glad to know that it works for a lot of you guys. I just bought one from eBay, let's see how it works.
