Misleading and Crap
Right, first of all, do not waste your money on this piece of crap!! i get 1 bar of crappy 3g signal in milton keynes without the dongle, and guess what ....... i get 1 bar of crappy 3g signal with the antenna plugged in. its just been one disapointment after another with 3g or anything product to do with it. was thinking of getting the high gain more power full device, but seeing as i had absolutley no improvement what so ever with this clip on antenna, im not guna bother. its just a flimsy piece of thin plastic that looks like it probably cost £5 to make, and this webiste is very misleading. its not a booster at all, it simply gives you a more stable connection. so now i have a more stable 1 bar crappy connection .... not what i wanted at all. honestly, dont buy this. i read the reviews and thought there was enough good reviews to give it a go but honestly its just rubbish. very very disapointed. do waste your money, im returning it asap, and will be advising anyone and everyone i know to steer clear of this cone!!!!!!!!!

improved signal in the deep forest
The antenna improved the signal from none at all to aprox 0,2 MB. Not impressive, but just enough. Without a signal there would have been no competition (athletic race) as we are depending on online acces to database and online server for generating live results.

Excellent
Plug in and away you go. Good quality item. Instant improvement in signal. Previously had to place dongle outside window to get intermittent reception. Now happily watching youtube videos with dongle inside room. My friends have tried it and will be ordering soon.

Very poor
Did not improve my signal strength on network 3 by one increment. I do not recommend this product to anyone, waste of money, just a gimmick.

Not good
I'm in a basement flat in central London and only usually have one bar signal. This dongle doesn't improve the bars at all and pages are still very slow. When I sit in the courtyard it doesn't get better either, but improves a lot when on street level (which doesn't really fix my problem). I think the issue is 3 itself!
Mobile Fun Says: Tenna, Might be worth trying our High Gain antennas, which can be mounted elsewhere (i.e. Street Level) and then an extension cable to your basement flat.

No GOOD
Spent £30 on a O2 Paygo dongle, £15 credit and just spent £26.97 on a clip antenna that does NOT work. I get a GPRS on a fairly strong signal, thought it might click over to 3G for a faster connection but it made NO difference. Complete waste of money in my opinion, Sorry. Any Refunds?????

Clip Antenna for Huawei USB
The antenna is ok it looks a bit cheap but feels well made the wire is very short. Its made little difference to my connection when indoors or in built up areas but when it does get a good signal it seams to load web pages a lot quicker than the dongle on its own. I think signal issues are due to the 3 network til that improves you wont get a good signal.

Clip Antenna for Huawei USB
After jut receiving this, I have to say I did not see an improvement in the signal at all. With the 3Connect program, I usually get 3 bars. With the antenna I still get 3, every now and again, I sometimes get 4. This test was based on testing on the ground floor of my house near a window. I'm sure the signal "may" be better enhanced upstairs, but that's not the point is it.

Mixed signal
I was in a poor reception area only getting up to 200 kbp/s. Tried this device and reduced signal by half? Have used it in places with much better reception and boosted by up to 1mb. Hence a mixed review as it does work but not in the location I needed it to work the most.

does it's job well
If you have mobile broadband then this item is an essential purchase. While not perfect, it does remove some of the hair pulling frustration involved with getting a reliable mobile broadband connection.I would recommend getting one from mobile fun as I found them to be easy to deal with and provide great service and communication.

Fab! BUT use with E160G NOT MF627
Great signal booster. Our very bad connection/signal now 100% consistent, Skype clearer and at least 2 computers can now be used together. HOWEVER, this is NOT compatible with the PAYG Mobile Broadband dongle from 3 (the MF627) as there is no CRC9 connection. Instead, the E160G dongle IS compatible and has the right connection. A great deal all round! Thanks guys, good service too :)

Very Happy Customer
Service from MobileFun was excellent - got txt message when product was shipped and received product within 24 hours of ordering !! The antenna works well. It hasn't improved my signal strength (suppose 3 Network needs to help there) but what it has given me is a much more stable connection. My connection speed has also improved. Before buying this, i was loosing my sanity with my 3 Connection, where I would have to fight with it for an hour to get a connection - with the antenna I get a connection almost every time on first attempt. You saved my sanity MobileFun - thanks for your help and swift service

Does what it says on the box
My 02 mobile broadband was a bit flakey and kept dropping out. The arial made an instant improvement and I'm now browsing at consistently higher speeds than before. Well worth the money

Worth it
Took the plunge and placed a order at 5pm one day and it arrived the next day A+. Wired it all up and a immediate improvement in signal strength and speed. Without the antenna (on 3 by the way) was getting 1 - 2 bars and intermittant. Now 3-4 bars and solid signal. A++

Vague improvement
I bought one and it has added an extra signal bar to my 3 modem, but that only means I can get 1 sometimes 2 bars from 10 now. Not the real improvement I was looking for.

Worth Every Penny
Absolutely Brilliant, recently moved house and found it very difficult to get any signal in many room of the house. Was worried it was simply adding more signal bars to the device without any actually increase in connectivity.. but now have faultless connectivity. Fab!. Mobile Fun delivery was fantastic and even got a SMS to tell me that it was despatched! Highly Recommended A+++++

Inproved signal ?
I was having a great deal of difficulty trying to improve my signal strength with this aerial. Unfortunately it's not actually designed to do that, but only to get you a better reception on the move by physically moving reception from the USB port of a laptop to higher up i.e. the top of the screen. If like me, you need to improve a signal the same company makes a different aerial for the job ( W21 ) but I'm not sure if mobile fun stock it!

didn't work
plugged it in and it didn't increase the signal strength no matter where i positioned it. Might have received a faulty one. I'm going to try a more expensive type.

Just what is says on the Tin!
Well i'm leaving feedback to reassure people that when they buy the 3 mobile broadband modem and it hacks you off so much, then buy this product and it will make it work. Its brilliant.
