It's All About Power
Everything you need for better reception is included in the box. View larger.
The primary cause of dropped calls is low signal output power from the cell phone to the cell tower, which limits the phone's ability to communicate with the tower. A typical cell phone provides merely one-fifth of a watt of output power. To address this problem, the amplifier and the included magnet mount antenna work together to increase the phone's output power by more than 12 times over using just the phone alone.Enjoy Premium Reception and Fewer Dropped Calls
Living or working in an area with limited cell phone coverage, which is caused by natural and man-made obstructions or by living out of range from a cell phone tower, you know how frustrating weak reception can be. By increasing the power output of your cell phone signal, the Wilson MobilePro helps eliminate most of the signal loss caused by these obstructions. It's important to note that the strongest signal is obtained when the MobilePro is within two feet of your cell phone, laptop, or data card. If you sit at a distance greater than two feet, simply set your phone next to the MobilePro booster and use a Bluetooth headset.The MobilePro comes with several power options, including a vehicle cigarette lighter adapter, a USB power cable, and a standard five-volt AC/DC adapter. The variety of power options ensures that you'll have a boosted signal whether you're driving in your car, traveling with your laptop, or working at your desk. Included with the booster kit is a convenient carrying case that fits neatly inside a briefcase, handbag, or suitcase.
Once installed, the MobilePro can simultaneously support multiple cell phones and data cards. You'll experience fewer dropped calls, clearer call quality, and improved data rates--even with 3G technologies.

Reduce the incidence of dropped calls and bad reception in your car, home, and office.
- worked marginally
I was in an area with only 2 bars, and it had calls dropped constantly. Unfortunately in my area it barely worked, not enough to justify the cost. I Had it returned, with no issues. - Wilson Phone Signal Booster Model 801241
I live in a remote Mountain area in Southwest Montana where there is very weak cell phone service. The Wilson Model 801241 gave me full strength and used the cell phone as a modem for a laptop and got good speed fro internet.
I would recommend this to all - Wilson signal booster - don't leave home without it!
I work in sales and spend a lot of time in the car on the phone.
I purchased this device and subsequently did three long trips through throught rural New England (ME to NJ), Mid West (MO to SD) and Mid Atlantic (ME to SC) with it. In that time I only had one time that the signal was lost as opposed to every 20-30 minutes previously. So in the car it definitely does the job even in mountainous and remote terrain.
Some things to note:
- it made no measurable improvement when I tried to use it at home on both Verizon and Sprint phones. Not sure what the problem was?
- the item I ordered from Amazon did not include the travel bag shown in the pictures on the website. Wilson's customer service staff sent it promptly when I contacted them
- I would like to see some kind of gauge (even if it was LEDs) to indicate the signal strength. At the moment it is either green or red
Overall I consider this a great investment and am now considering the Wilson full house version. - Wilson Cell Phone Booster
Very disappointed in the product. For the price I thought it would be much better. I didn't get any better reception with the booster than I had without and having this ugly antenna stuck to my window to get reception was definitely not working for me. - Wilson provided the service that Verizon refused to.
Thank God for our new Wilson Electronics 801241 signal booster!!! I stuck it on a window and we can use our phones and internet indoors like real people!!! We have EVDO with 3 bars and 1xRtt with 2 bars. It was easy and fast to install. It works well for the frequency range that Verizon uses. It is portable and we will be able to use it in our travels anywhere we go.
With that said... I would like to disparage Verizon and their lack of commitment to customers. This was a solution that they should have provided to us at no charge years ago.
Verizon moved their cell tower after their merger Altel. Instantly our phones and air card would not work inside our home. Since early 2009 we went outside to make and receive phone calls. We sat outside to get internet access from Verizon too.
We kept getting false hope from Verizon representatives. New towers were going to be placed that might correct the problem, etc... There was a piece of equipment that they could sell us for $250.00 that would allow us to get reception at home. However it would only work if we purchased satellite internet access from Hughes. Since we were already paying Verizon $60.00/month for internet access that we could no longer received, it really did not make sense. It was really just more false hope.
Finally one tech support person told us the truth. They had moved the tower to accommodate a greater number of users and they had no intention of returning the service that we previously had provided. A technician had been sent out to our address and had been able to get reasonable reception from the highway and we were screwed. I was informed that our service agreement did not cover cell or air card service indoors. If we were expecting an incoming call we would have to go outside by the highway and wait for it. We were never offered any kind of discount for the extreme loss of service. I think I should file a complaint with the FCC.
