How do you get signal in a basement flat?

[oxcat1]

I am moving tomorrow (aaaggghhhh!) and when I popped round with the agent, I noticed that there was absolutely no phone signal on my mobile. I have an iPhone on Giffgaff, but my friends (samsungs on Vodafone and EE) had nothing either.

How do i get a signal worth having in a lower ground floor flat? I currently have broadband with EE (on a very old and very cheap package, which they have said I can't move ), and my mobile is with Giffgaff but scarcely used for calls, and normally not much mobile data as I am generally at home, or sending free texts.

I don't need a landline, nor anything fancy. I just want to be able t access the Internet with my iPad, and receive signal on my mobile. What can I do? I don't even know what I should be googling for.....?

Ask giffgaff for advice, their forums are very good as well. Btw giffgaff use the o2 network.

You will probably struggle to get signal with any provider. I would get broadband and a mobile contract that allows wifi calling. http://ee.co.uk/help/phones-and-device/setting-up-wifi-calling-on-your-iphone That was you can still make and receive calls on your mobile in the flat.

O2 have an app called TuGo which takes calls and texts when you have no phone signal. Might be worth seeing if your network have a similar app xx

I haven't got o2 so can't help anymore about the app tho
