Mobile dead spot in house

Moved to a new home. In parts of the house I often lose mobile signals or show very poor signal.
I am with O2 and I also tried with EE SIM but both are same.
Is there any way to get signal in these dead spots?
The internet/broadband is fine which is coming via landline. My problem is that I am missing calls as people are saying it goes to straight voicemail.

My contract is with Tesco mobile who uses O2 network. It seems WiFi calling is not offered by Tesco Mobile.Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.0

According to this page Tesco are rolling out Wi-Fi calling.
Wi-Fi calling has been a game changer and I now wouldn't use a network that doesn't offer it.
Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid0 -
Did you not switch on wifi calling with the EE sim ?0

Tesco SIM is my primary one. I put a an EE SIM which as no balance as 2nd SIM. I can receive calls on that but not do calls - unless I take a new plan with EE.Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.0

Wifi calling would solve the problem but you need to ensure that your phone has the feature.
I've got an old iPhone mini as a backup and it works on that but many older android phones won't include it.0 -
If there’s only a small dead spot, just use the phone elsewhere? I used to have issues using phone in kitchen, so avoided using it there0

Follow that link to Tesco Mobile and you'll find a list of supported phones. Note the following caveat at the top of the list :My boldAll these phones support Wi-Fi Calling and 4G Calling when bought from us:
Your phone may work on Tesco Mobile but I personally would not be signing a PAYM contract unless I had actually seen it work on my handset.

Tesco Mobile has not fully rolled out WiFi calling. I am not in any contract with them so I'll look for deals elsewhere and I'd leave.
Yes, I can use WhatsApp calls but work related calls tend to be normal phone calls.Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.0
