I seriously question any antenna where its reported frequency range is so large. 800 MHz to 3.5 GHz effective range....this promises as much as those little stickers you put on the back of your mobile phone.

General rule: an antenna works best at one specific frequency, and its performance degrades significantly as you get farther away from that frequency.

Their webpage is not clear. Is it a repeater that broadcasts (and amplifies the signal into my office/home), or do I have to plug a cable into the back of my cell for it to work.
Lots of people in my office have T-Mobile, but there is no signal within the whole bldg. due to thick walls. If I could get one of these and broadcast T-Mobile into my office for all to use, I would have some happy co-workers!

Well, considering that repeaters typically start at about $500-1000 and go up from there, and this costs $60, I feel safe saying it's not a repeater. I don't even think it's an amplifier, it is just an antenna that I presume you have to plug into your phone.
