Boost Mobile Signal

lostsoul25

I have moved and the mobile signal is very poor in the house, majority of the time my phone says SOS, the network does kick in every now and again and has maybe one bar which doesnt last long.

Is their anything out there to boost your mobile signal in the house, the network coverage says its should be good indoors and outdoors where I am.

Try setting the phone to only connect to 2g networks if you have that option somwhere in the setting. can help more once i know what model and os your phone runs, ie android, IOS etc

Some networks sell picocells which connect through broadband (e.g. Vodafone Suresignal - http://www.vodafone.co.uk/our-network-and-coverage/signal-blackspots-explained/sure-signal/index.htm )

Maybe you could change network to one with better coverage at your location - this will show your nearest cells - http://www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk/

Some phones are better than others, and you might find some older handsets with stumpy antennae will get better reception.

Alternatively, you could switch network to one that gets a better signal where you are, or even ask your network about installing a picocell on your home adsl router if all the networks are poor

Assuming you can find one still working the laughter from anybody spotting you using it will probably negate any advantage
