increase signal strength ??

punto123

hi there i am on O2, and signal is not very good in my area ( o2 are the best in my area , other operators no signal).

I usually get 1 or 2 bars depending where my phone is but often i can just loose signal for like 20 seconds then it comes back.

is there any ways i can improve the signal strength?

many thanks

If you don't mind being on the wrong side of the law, you could buy a signal repeater.

Think O2 are about to bring out a fem2cell device much like vodafones suresignal.It works via your internet connection to give you a 3G signal will have a look for link.

My understanding is o2 trialled it but later dropped it.

They did but i read it was back on the cards again cant find the link now tho

Only employee trial just now so probably still ages away from release.

I wish operators would sell these, I would get one as o2 is bad in my office - I'm at that stage I'm now going to switch.

I wish they'd make them so anyone can connect to them rather than just nominated numbers (or has that changed?). Then you could share your neighbour's femtocell rather than buying your own

It only supports 4 simultaneous calls. So it would overload in a builtup area if the numbers weren't pre authorised to connect. And no one would be able to use it
