SureCall EZ 4G for the home (or office) that may have everything – well, everything but a decent strength cell signal for smart phones and other devices.
In our review we will first provide highlights, some back story on how this review came about, and then get into the actual performance of the SureCall EZ 4G, as well as what’s involved in setting it up to use it. We’ll finish with a list of Pros and Cons
Whether use the “phone” company’s cell tower primarily for voice, and at times, data, (relying on your home’s Wifi most of the time for data) or we are getting internet access for your entire home from cell towers, many of us folks have to deal with weak signal strength.
Is the weak signal from your favorite cell provider – be it AT&T, Verizon, etc., driving you crazy with dropped calls, and perhaps even far worse for some – almost impossibly slow and unreliable data communications?
The SureCall EZ 4G is an interesting booster that can work indoors or out. It has a list price of $399, and will be shipping by the time you read this, Per SureCall, this brand new product will be available online, including Amazon, and in some Big Box houses (big box houses are folks like Best Buy, Target, Walmart – for those of you not sure of the term.)
Basically the EZ 4G is a round (dish) antenna finished in an attractive silver. It looks pretty cool for an antenna (booster) as its designed to be inside (or outside). Inside, typically in front of a window, it has to look reasonably good. The dish measures 13 inches diameter. Not really large, but then not invisible. That’s OK, because, as I said, it has some style.
This one works a bit different than my five year old one (which is a one piece that sits outside.) There are two key pieces – the dish antenna itself with the powered electronics inside it, and a much smaller “omni” antenna to be placed close to where signal strength is needed.
I’ll tell you right now, that it my case, it definitely solved the problem it was built to tackle. I figure it earns one of our Pretty Darn Cool awards for that.
