Summary: Great help for remote locations
Comment: I live in a remote area and would get no bars at all driving the 15 miles to town. Now I get signal most of the time. The terrain is very hilly. It also allows me to make calls in many remote places where I never had signal before. I used the iBooster on a 4000 mile trip across the country and back and it worked great. Very few dropped calls on the road and good signal strength. Even in remote areas of Michigan where my phone always showed "no signal" the booster allowed me to make phone calls. Notes: I have the first model of iPhone. I also bought the higher gain magnet mount antenna.
I have no problem with the iBooster charging my phone. The phone does need to be pressed firmly into the connector though. I also use the extra iPhone connector on the iBooster to plug the phone into my stereo and this allows me to play music while the phone is in the cradle. The stereo also provides power so the iBooster works with just the stereo iPhone connector plugged into the iBooster. The message about compatibility with the phone appears but this happens on every accessory I have for the iPhone. The message clears itself if I ignore it. The unit does get warm but that seems normal for a device like this.
The only dislike I have is that the cradle makes it hard to press a few of the keyboard keys on iPhone when I'm sending text messages.

Summary: It works!
Comment: It really does work. In an area where I got no reception, I now get good reception. In an area where the phone used to go in and out, I now get great reception. However, I am not finding that the phone gets such good reception when removed from the cradle. They say it should within a certain area, but I find sometimes this is not the case. I think the best way of using the booster is keeping the phone in the cradle and using a blue tooth.

Summary: WLSON ibOOSTER 10 THUMBS UP!
Comment: For over 5 years, I have Spent a lot of quality time in a place even cell phone signals cannot locate, in the deepest boonies of Florida. There isn't even an address to this property. I went through several different phones and services only to be let down time after time. Finally bought an iphone to give it a try. It worked here and there, but never at my camp, and 1 bar was all I could ever see, anywhere. I discovered the ibooster. I was, of course, skeptical. I gave Wilson a call, really nice and knowledgeable folks. I then ordered it through Amazon. I remembered the video of the bars lighting up on the phone when they placed it in the cradle. I couldn't believe the exact thing happened when I did the same. The thing works perfectly, and they can retrofit the unit as a home based unit, so it can be used mobile or stationary with ac or dc current. What more could you ask for. I can use my Bluetooth up to 50 ft away. This thing deserves 10 stars.

Summary: Definitely improves reception
Comment: The Wilson iBooster definitely has improved my cell and data reception and has minimized my dropped calls es[ecially when changing cell towers. Well worth the money. Two complaints though. The unit gets very hot which in turn makes my iPhone very hot. Secondly, I keep getting two error messages stating that this unit is not compatible with my iPhone. I contacted Wilson's customer service and their response was that the iBooster is compatible with my iPhone 3G S. It charges properly but I need to keep clearing the error messages on the screen. Perhaps AT&T will step up their game and improve their service but until then, there's a great solution with the Wilson iBooster.
