How much variance does one have in pointing the antenna? i.e. I have Sprint and AT&T from different sources.

If you don't have outdoor clear path to tower, this thing does no good. Mainly is the amplifier must provide enough power to send back to tower. Wilson amplifier does not have higher power toward tower than a regular cell phone does.

Depending on your install configuration, unlimited. I have 360 degrees. If using iPhone, you can fine tune pointing using the phones internal signal meter..btw, this is an awesome product.

this optional antenna is 12 inches tall. the standard antenna is 4 inches tall. we get equally good performance with AT&T and Verizon signals.

The reception is Sprint 3G, which is to say, bad. I just came off an ATT contract and the 4G was so much better. My wife was on a 3G Blackberry, and the speeds were WAY better than Sprints 3G. Despite this though, the LG is still dated in almost every way unrelated to reception. Don't get me wrong, it's an OK, but I think it should be a lot cheaper given its age.

My understanding is that you font have to point it at the strongest signal area directly. Height is most important for success, not trying to aim the point of the antenna at strongest signal direction

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.

Depending where you leave! I can tell you that I have Sprint Verizon, and AT&T and not of this carries have good signal here in the LA Area. But when I switched to T mobile all my signal coverages when away. The device itself is the besttttt!! I can tell you that I love it. Even more because with t-mobile I have the best coverage full bars always.

I have found that location and direction is vital to reception. If you can find out what direction the tower is located and point it in that way you should get decent reception.

It all depends on what you use for an antenna and signal strengh. Roof mounted directional: superb!Indoor antenna depends on your location and orientation. You will need to experiment looking for best spot. Good luck!Victor

Mine was very simple (with DirecTV. Just plugged into the receiver and set it up generally facing South and starting around 40%azimuth (there is a graph in the manual that gives you an idea what it should be depending on where your located.. Then you can manually adjust it with the remote to get the strongest signal using the signal strength finder on the receiver menu. Good luck. I use mine camping and and tailgating. Very happy with it.

Well, I used it for AT&T; and it did NOT work for me, and I had to return the item. Beware, they have their own return policy and had to return the item insured at my own expense.AT&T; has a device called MicroCell that connects to the internet to provide a mini cell site within your home; Sprint has the same thing. I don't know if T-Mobile offers this.I also tried an external antenna and booster from a company called Wilson. That did not work either My personal opinion would be to avoid - however, other people may have better results.Hope this helps.ThanksJohn Well, I used it for AT&T; and it did NOT work for me, and I had to return the item.

Honestly I haven't noticed any issues with the signal, I mean I've only recently been using it but that doesn't seem to have happenes yet. I live in miami maybe its just location strength?

The antenna is mildly directional. I currently use two receivers, one on the first floor (kitchen) and one on the second floor (bedroom). The transmitting antenna is on the 2nd floor, in a different bedroom. In my situation, both receivers are on a similar azimuth angle so I can adequately receive at both locations without re-aligning the antenna, by simply "pointing" between the two receivers. If your situation is very different from this, then I wouldn't expect it to work very well, unless one of the receivers is very close. At closer distances, the antenna pointing is less critical.

Not sure if there a major difference in dimension between the AT&T; version and the Sprint however I have heard issues on the alignment on the holes for the camera and mic. I would contact Ballistic direct and ask them.

Antennas make a difference. Cell phone frequency bandwidth different from UHF or VHF TV.

I receive channels 4.1, 4.2, 6.1, 6.2 etc. depending on how the antena is positions, some better than the others but if I really want to I can move it o I get eventually the one I want without nise. You may also check if your cord does niot affect the reception, in onother room I have a digital panel antena and it is very sensitive to its own cord position.

The key here is that it ONLY works on WiMax 4G networks and NOT 4G LTE. You should use Sprint's coverage maps (at the top of their web site page) to show WiMax coverage. In Colorado Springs, a city of 300K people, WiMax is not available and Sprint shows this as "3G and more". In the Denver area, WiMax is available so I should either sell my unit to someone in Denver or just hold on to it for when I travel.
