Has anyone had any luck getting a signal booster from orange for free?
I rang them today as I've lost signal completely past few weeks, always been able to get 1 bar indoors. I was told i live in a zero cover area and he couldn't believe i ever had any coverage at all, ever!
The guy said he could give me a signal booster for £26, that's with a 75% discount. I'm in contract until Aug so i don't know whether it's worth it. Problem is none of the other networks have coverage in my area, so changing wont help.
he said as nothing has changed in my area in the last 2 years he couldn't offer it for free.

    Am not sure what phone you have, but on my Orange HTC one X I have "signal boost" app that somehow uses my wifi signal to boost the signal, have you got / tried this?

    Copy from one, it’s plagiarism; copy from two, it’s research.

    Samsung S3 unlocked, so no orange apps. i looked for it in app stores but it has to be an Orange branded phone as they have it preinstalled.
