CAWebsite Full of Inaccuracies and Confusion..... I have ordered and just received a We Boost Drive Reach RV. Initial testing looks promising, but my main use will be in the summer. My review is based solely on the web site, and chat experiences. The web site is full of errors, making product selection difficult. Case in point is the Drive Reach RV. The "what's included" pictures are different than what is contained in the online manual. So you don't know what you are actually going to get when you open the box. I am referring to the mounting brackets (claps onto ladder-pipe) and other bits. Then to try to confirm what was included, I engaged with the online chat, and the tech advised that they were would not be included. I was pleasantly surprised to open the box, and find the mounting bracket in the box, (yay)!! But this is contrast to what the tech told me, and what the website says is included. Next up, the part numbers for the individual components is confusing. The Drive Reach and Drive OTR have the same external antenna, but show different part numbers. So the shopper is left wondering what is different, and which one is better. When they are the same, (except for some mounting bits, OR because they are part of a different model (OTR vs RV)). So in the end, I spent waaay too much time, trying to figure out what to buy, owing to inconsistent information on the web site, techs providing wrong info, and part numbers that make comparison difficult. I hope that the product functionality makes up for these glaring shortcomings on the web site.

GBDO NOT order- if you need to return it, you will struggle to get a refund!! I purchased a Wilson Amplifier with installation on 11/09/23. It arrived in a timely manner and I scheduled installation through the information they provided. When the technician arrived to install the amplifier, he was not able to find any location (and he tried several places on the roof) that increased my cell signal reception beyond what is was without the amplifier. That was unfortunate as I had hoped for a better signal, but perhaps not the fault of the amplifier. However, the biggest reason for my 1 star rating (and I would give zero stars if possible) is the problems I have faced trying to get my refund since then. I contacted customer service 11/16/23 to arrange a return. The email with directions stated it would take 7-10 business days after they received the amplifier back for the refund to process. I was also told when on the phone with customer service that I would be refunded for the cost of return shipping. It cost me $151.36 to ship it back via UPS. They received the amplifier back on 11/30/23 per the tracking from UPS. It is now 1/2/24 and I have not received a refund for the amplifier ($1390.99) or the return shipping costs ($151.36). Even considering the holidays, it is far past the 7-10 business days they stated, and I am still owed $1,542.35. My recommendation: Do NOT order from this company! If the device does not work for you, getting your money refunded will be a struggle.

GBWorth the investment I purchased the 470101R for my vacation home in Northwest Arkansas. Knowing that the cell reception in that area was pretty much non existent, I didn't have high hopes. After getting familiar with the instructions and setting up the system I was surprised to see four green lights and an improvement in reception from -103db to -57db or better. Very happy with my purchase. I will be buying another for my RV.

GBUPS delivered to old address!!! Order #185503 Gift for my friend Brad. He just moved. UPS delivered to his old address, no signature, UPS says they are all done, it has been delivered. My friend did not get the cell phone booster; instead the new occupant of his former rental home has it and is not giving it up. I'm out the entire $549 I spent on the gift. PayPal says that Wilson should file a claim against UPS and refund my money or re-send to Brad's new address. Wilson (also dba Silk Worldwide) has many phone numbers, all of which go to an off site call center, not Wilson office in Stafford, Texas. The operators say Wilson will call me back, but they don't. One call center operator confided that they don't resolve problems, they simply provide a live operator to answer the calls and essentially do nothing. I'm out $549, and It seems like that's the end of the story.

GBPurchased a reconditioned cell amp Output of amp is not what was expected. The amp was suppose to cover 2500 sq ft, when I installed it, you had to be within 6 feet to have any improvement in cell service. Found out from wilson tech support that the reconditioned unit I purchased with a one year warranty has a high failure rate within one to two months. Very disappointed that the reconditioned unit is not reliable!!
