Some operators offer femtocells ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femtocell ) under a variety of different names but you'd need broadband for that to work. Check your operators products on their website.

As coverage varies by operator the easiest would be to change to a different one unless you are stuck in a long contract.

This will show the nearby cells - http://www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk/

Not much chance of them paying 50 quid

thank you kwikbreaks for the solution (i will have to do little research ),and Lincoln Imp even i would neglect it iff it was the office phone unfortunately this problem is at home.

Depends on what you think is inexpensive. GSM signal boosters are under £100 - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GSM-Mobile-Phone-Signal-Booster-Repeater-O2-Voda-900mhz-/160507343958

I have one myself and it works

I bought a Blackberry. Not a cheap or attractive solution but it has UMA.

And obviously if you are on Orange you can use T Mobile signal.

Not even for the pleasure of disturbing you at all hours of the day and night?
