Didn't work for me
Tried this with my Vodafone and O2 dongles but got no improvement whatever. Obviously works for some but not for me. Anyway Mobile Fun were great and gave me an instant refund.

Probably USB Dependent
No help at all for me - tried many positions for both antenna and clip. From other reviews it must be better with some USBs, but not my Vodafone device.

Surprise!! It really works.
Suffering from very poor Internet reception using my net-book whilst at home. Just my luck to live in an area so poorly served by my Vodafone dongle.Decided to give this Clip Aerial for Mobile Broadband USB Dongles a try, not expecting any real success, I was just clutching at straws. To my amazement my mobile broad band signal strength went from 2 to 4 bars and the Internet became a realistic proposition in areas where previously it was unusably slow or kept dropping out. Unusual I know, but this gizmo works.

Improvement Noticed
I am on the 3 network and since moving to current location have not been able to get a strong connection. Most of the time I get a strong blue light but no boost in the bar indication.
The product was out of stock when I first had a look and was promised a e-mail when it was back in stock this did not happen. Also the promised text and e-mail to advise of dispatch never came! Goods arrived within 24 hours of order which was very good.

Clip Antenna for 3G USB Modems - Universal.
What a god send for poor signal areas. I have tested with E220 t-mobile dongle and now using this gadget and an option 225 usb stick with o2. With t-mobile signal strength has steadied to 2 bars with no drop out and with o2 I now get 3 bars with no drop out. This gadget is so good I can finally use iplayer with no lag. I can't recommended this gadget highly enough. Also speed of actual delivery from MobileFun was probably the best I have seen in quite some time.

It does work, with a little finetuning.....
I ordered this antenna since I couldn't find an exact match for my Huawei E176.
Finding the sweet spot to place the adapter was a case om trial and error but eventually I gained some 40% stronger signal.
That might not seem like very much but it was enough to keep the signal stable!!
Note: You might also want to experiment with the direction in which the antenna points....

Clip Antenna boosts signal
Has increased my signal strength for Vodafone 3G Mobile Connect, by 1 to 2 bars. My signal still fluctuates, but I no longer lose connection.

Clip antenna does it work (yes).
I live in portugal and have vodafone 3g mobile connect. I do not have a land line only a mobile connection for my computer, so after 12 months of jumping from 2g to 3g and very very slow speed, i purchased the clip antenna and now we have gone on to 3g HSDPA and 3 out of 5 on the signal strengh bars. One tip though it needs to be clamped on the top right hand side of your modem, TO THE RIGHT OF THE FLASHING LIGHT. To finish off all i can say is it worked for me.
