Just thought I would throw my 2 cents worth in on this topic. We have camped in several places with marginal or no service so I decided after some research to try the Wilson Sleek for Verizon. Mine came with the stubby antenna so I added the trucker antenna. We have only tried in one location so far but the results were surprising to me. I just stuck the stubby antenna on the side of the trailer as high as I could reach, under the awning. We were barely able to make a call and had no data connection but when I placed my phone in the cradle I had crystal clear voice service and a faster data connection than my broadband at home. I did however have trouble turning on my wifi hotspot sometimes. My wife has a 3G phone and hers would work fine. Not sure why that would matter. My phone showed a 4G connection but sometimes I would get an error when I tried to turn on my hotspot. It works fine in an area with good service. I'm going to research that a little more. Overall I'm very pleased with the sleek so far. I tried the trucker antenna clamped onto my awning arm and it didn't seem to be any better than the small antenna. But I'm going to get it mounted higher and see how it works then.
