Mobile Fone Signal Booster Q?

    Hi,

    This might sound crazy, but is there any way I can improve mobile coverage in my house. Currently it's complete sh1te. I'm with O2 and down to 2 bars at best. Usually no coverage at all. Vodafone is better at around 4 bars. So I'm diverting my calls to a Vodafone RTG. I've tried the usual stuff like standing close to a window, but no joy. The coverage right outside the house is fine! I can't change service provider as it's a company phone.

    Is there any device on the market that can improve the O2 signal?


    Thanks.

    Try attaching an external aerial otherwise you might need something like...

    Have you tried a different phone? Just to see if the signals any better .. some phones aren't as strong as others.

    Good point actually - I think the old style external aerial phones handled the signals much better.

    Try your SIM in another handset, Try different sim in your handset, make sure the battery is charged as much as possible, power off/on handset when you get home in the evening to pick up the closest site to your home to get strongest signal, if all that does not work complain to O2 say you want to disconnect due to poor coverage and get discount or free minutes if your not in contract :)
    p.s they will ask if you have taken all these steps before they pass you over to customer relations. they will problably log something with tech to check coverage in the area. but if they cannot improve it they will try to keep you as a customer.
    pps be nice to the customer care you will get alot more joy if your polite and jokey

    Has anyone used the device that jimmycrackcorm has suggested above? It looks interesting! Will it work with an Irish handset?
