    Hope somebody might be able to offer me some info and guidance on this. I have an Iphone 4s and my signal on the 3 network is very bad. I don't want to switch networks so I'm wondering about maybe looking into buying one of these mobile phone booster signals. There seems to be alot of different kit on the market and its hard to know what to look at getting. There are a number of people selling these boosters on Done Deal. Has anyone purchased them and do they improve the signal? I will need one for 3G as well so any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Call 3 and see can they sort out the signal. If you've more than one phone in the house give them all the account numbers. There not able to see multiple devices at the one address.

    Hi there, the only thing that works for me is Vodafone Sure Signal, not much good to you on 3, but imagine all Providers will bring in something similar in the short term.

    You need DSL to backhaul a suresignal so you might as well use wifi then. The Donedeal boosters are illegal, all of them.

    Do you live in an NBS area OP ???

    The nextivity cellfi units don't need any Internet connection to work
    O2 / voda have these , it comprises of two boxes , one you place at a window
    That has good signal , then you can place the second box anywhere in your house and that second box gets the boosted mobile signal from the box at the window; it works quite well and turns 1bar 3G signal into 3/4 bars signal.

    As these units are hard coded frequency wise you can only get them via your network operator ... Also results in less battery drain on our mobile as it doesn't have to use as much power to transmit. It also makes 3G midband work better...

    A cellfi unit mounted on a chimney in a waterproof box would be a great solution as it would pick up a stronger 3G signal to boost

    Also these units are 100% legal
