Help I have no signal in my home! Is there a booster?

[rockpink]

I rent an old 1800's terraced house, very thick walls, high ceilings. The only place I get good signal is in the bathroom upstairs which was an extension and doesn't have the other great big house walls looming over it.
Nice house, content and comfortable here, but the continual service dropping is doing my head in.

I can't afford both a home landline and broadband, so I have a new samsung galaxy phone which i go online with and text and talk and a mobile huawei dongle on T mobile.

Previous phone was an ancient O2 contract Iphone 3GS which was fast as anything but signal kept disappearing. Got brand new phone now on contract, (disapointed with it as very slow) but guess what, signal disappearing, new one is on T mobile.

Is there a solution, a signal booster for both the dongle and the phone maybe? Or should i go live somewhere modern and tiny

if you were with Vodafone you can get a thing called a Sure Signal which plugs into your broadband line and acts as a mini hotspot. We have one and gone from zero phone signal to full bars.

I'm not sure that helps as if you get a broadband you need a landline and you are in a different contract.

Maybe someone else will be along who has a different idea.

We're with Vodafone and we have a Sure Signal box. It is brilliant but you do need a router to plug it into. Do you need a landline with that? Not sure.

Your old phone was probably fine. You could have any kind of newfangled phone, if you've got poor Internet reception it still won't work.

Old phone had a big hole in the back !!

There's poor reception on everything in this house :(

Sure signal needs a broadband connection - sorry - that's how it works .

Can you piggyback on a neighbor's Wifi [sneaky]?

Mmm yes good plan! (do you know how to hop onto it secretly)
