I've tried to get one from T Mobile and they don't offer them anymore.

I have a Wilson wireless works pretty well for me in my logging truck will boost signal from 1 bar to 3 bars in a remote area but if you are in a no signal area it won't make magic for you. Very high priced and if I didn't need it for work I would have never bought it. Hope this helps a little .

I have one that I can't use since I got a new phone. If you won't it I will be happy to give it to you. As I remember it didn't do much but free is hard to beat.

I have the wilson you just put the phone in the cradle and the antenna is in a window inside. Had to pull the bottom pins off the cradle and add velcro to hold my Jet Pack but it works great and we have a mountain between us and the tower.

I use a Wilson Sleek that works very well for my AT&T Samsung S3. The sleek offers a variety of Sleeks for the different carriers. It is an amp and can be used for the Jetpack also. It also allows for about any antenna you want to use. The small short antenna that came with it works great. I have connected to the Wilson Trucker also. The Sleek offers a home kit (110V) and a mobile kit(12V).

I use a Wilson Trucker antenna for my Millenicom Verizon air card, works well for those fringe areas.

Have the Sleek and it works great. Have the glue on through the windshield antenna. Only minor issue is the connecton at the cradle seems to loosen up on a regular basis. Just check it frequently and all is well.
