I was a bit hesitant to order the Wireless Extenders Cell Phone Booster, thinking that too many products like it were useless gadgets, but I have just moved to a hilly area of Los Angeles County and reception here -- for all services -- tends to be in the "two bar" range. So, I took the risk, and I am DELIGHTED with the results. My home/office is in the center of the boosted zone created by the device, and my signal here is 4 or 5 bars on my Blackberry. The other phones (three different models) my family has are also boosted within the covered zone. We have a long ranch-style house and I'm considering getting a second booster, because the zone doesn't cover all of our 2,600 sq ft property. But since the primary reason I got it was my dependence on my Blackberry for work purposes, and because the zone covers our heavy traffic areas (living room, kitchen) as well, we're in good shape. No question it's worth the money. Was easy to install.
