How do I know if it's working? I see no additional bars on my phone!

you should have a green light on top of the booster. you can also try to update your prl or just do a system update so it will update signal

You also need to put the square-shaped antenna in the best window where you have some signal.

The closer you get the more bars on your signal meter you should see. If I am within an inch I get three extra bars.

Is the green light on? If not, you need to unplug and start over. You should gain 1to 2 bars

The window antenna has to be in place that is closer to a direct view of a tower.

The way I checked the signal on my phones is I viewed the signal from different locations in the house. On my samsung I could see the jump in signal as soon as I turned the zBoost on. With my iPhone I had to get in close proximity of the cell booster to see the improvement. I don't know if the problem with the iPhone is the frequency it is working on or the antenna in the phone. Put your phone close to transmit antenna and see if you see the signal boost. I plugged and unplugged the power supply to see the signal surge.

Yes, mine works perfect with no bar. The first couple of times it is a tight fit, but it is still super easy to get installed. I love mine!

It is in your phone, go to settings and phone and about. Should be on there.

It is a bit tricky. Mine came with a charge and when it ran out I plugged it into my car charger with a usb plug in that I already had. I have no idea what the application of the bar it came with. Also, when charging with my car this way it has only held a charge for a small period of time. This is all I can tell you. I hope this helps.

For sure it has to be two bars. That is what I received in my package that I paid for.

2.3.6 according to one I purchased about 6 months ago. Not an amazing phone but functional if you don't overtax it's abilities... I took one to Europe and snapped in a local sim and it worked fine. Here I only used it a partial month with a tracfone sim and did ok were there was coverage for that network. I just mailed it back to Europe as a gift for a friend there. Of a little annoyance to my mild ocd is apparently there is no way to turn off the indication bar icons for the extra sim slot, ie, even if you only have one sim installed you will see a pair of network signal indicators in the top status bar, the second will have a small red "x" if no sim... Not a big problem I suppose ;) 2.3.6 according to one I purchased about 6 months ago. Not an amazing phone but functional if you don't overtax it's abilities...

What bothers me is that you said you live miles from "coverage," which could mean you show zero bars of signal. That won't work. You need to be inside the AT&T; coverage area and showing some kind of signal. Even one bar with -105 dB will work...but there needs to be something to latch onto.

The bar has to be tightened to a smooth flat surface, but as I recall from many years ago, there is a "lip" and what the bar would have to be tightened to would not be wide enough. If there is a phone number or email address, call/write & ask. Of course, if it doesn't work, you can return it.

if you look on the back of your mifi there are actually 2 ports, one for the charger and there is one for this antenna. it wont give you full bars but it should give you a couple and that should keep you online

Not sure about that one. The one I got does and it is the same brand. You might want to keep looking if you are looking for the extra bar!!

I"m gonna see if I can, hang on a minute. I just downloaded it, and it works, for that I thank you. this is a great app!

I looked at the bars I purchased and don't see a date code. If you can tell me where to find it on the package I will check again

Not good news I'm afraid. The phone is either locked, or was jail broken and then restored. If it was supposed to be unlocked, I would return it.

I use my phone while it's plugged into the bar, and it continues to charge. I'd think using the bar while using GPS-related apps, including Google Map, would be a good idea, since map functions suck a lot of power.

by going into your settings...look for "about device" or terms similar to this...take that option it will tell you....

Lester, I'm not really sure. That's something that you probably email the company over. What I will say is I do like it. It doesn't at times increase the number of bars but the signal is in fact stronger, more thru put so to speak.
