ee or o2 boost box for mobile signal?

Options
Im currently with giff gaff and we have just moved house where the signal is zero.

Been looking at services that offer a booster box and have narrowed it down to ee or o2. However I cant find out what the boost boxes cost and how hard they are to get hold of (i have heard that some companies are reluctant to give/sell them to you)

ee state on their website they are available in the shops, so i know the availability is easy to get one, but they dont list the cost and i cant find this online anywhere? (im 45 mins away from town so dont just want to pop in to find out the cost)

Does anyone know the cost of the ee box?

also

Does any know how easy it is to get the o2 box and what the cost is?

Thanks

    With o2 you can make and receive calls over WiFi using the TU app

    Or use EE's or Vodafones wifi calling - unlike TU app, the facility is built into many Samsung and Iphones. Far more reliable.

    Believe that all the networks do boosters but the wifi calling facility on the newer phones is far simpler.
  • True but i have the sam 6 and hubby and daughter have even older phones. So they cant use the ap and i dont think mine is wifi enabled!
  • Last year, I switched from GG to 02 because of the TUGO App, because the signal on all mobile networks at my home is virtually zero.

    Unfortunately this proved to be a disaster as the TUGO App really is a pile of do-do.

    With the year up early in 2016, I threatened to leave 02 and they gave me a Boostbox, which should have been more than £100. This box has been a revelation and I now have four or five bars in every room of my home and can use the phone both inside and outside the house.

    I would certainly recommend the 02 Boostbox, especially if you can get it for free.
