I live in a very rural area that gets spotty cell signal at best. Most of the time I cant get a signal, and when I do, it only lasts for maybe 5 min, so I can maybe send and receive stored texts during that time, but would never be able to make/receive calls. I bought this Yagi antenna and coupled with the cell amplifier I bought from Wilson, I now have 3-4 bars of service inside my house. Its great and worth every penny! Since I know that cell companies are only going to build cell towers where they are apt to get a return, this is the next best option. It picks up the slightest signal, and then the amplifer extends it inside the house. If you are looking for a good cell antenna, this works great.
