Anyone else living in an area with poor reception? For me I get one signal bar with T-mobile - and that's on a good day! Other networks nil.
Not sure if you meant to post this to ALUG but a lot of modern phones don't support external aerials now and the losses down anything other than very very expensive feed cable make the effective reception gains a lot less than transmission gains if the cable is anything more than a few meters long.
Repeaters are expensive (even more so for one that is actually approved for use on your respective mobile operators network)
Probably your best bet is to call the disconnections team and see if you can blag a free femtocell (EE now call it a "Signal Box") this is a local cell which uses your broadband for a backhaul to the mobile network. Not had experience of the EE one but voda pretty much give them away to customers that moan about home signal.
Thanks for your replies - I don't know much about these things and knew someone on here would know about such. ALUG is a 'mine of info'! What do you mean by disconnections team? I will phone EE and ask about femtocell/signal box.
