Moblie Phone Booster ?

[rastus86]

ok i have been trying a few things basily i need to know if anyone can point me in the right direction i need better reception in side a building i can get almost full reception about 10 metres outside but the problem is inside very patchy if i could get about 10% better it would be great
the problem is with all porviders gsm and 3g actually next g works ok but not all of us have that
any way i see cell phone boosters on ebay from overseas i thought that might be ok but i am not to sure how that would go they are going for around 200 bux even if we could mount the booster in a car because there is a carpark outside the bulding that might just work any feedback would be really great i don't have any other ideas

had a similar problem at my place with optus/vodaphone
did a fair bit of research
only thing i came accross was "car kits" which you could have a antenna outside with a wire connected to the phone.
after several calls to optus/voda and them promising upgrades within the next few weeks which never occurred we just went over to telstra/hutch.

whats the point of having phones if they cant be used, when you need them to be.

i know the same thing here as well the trouble is that acouple of us ar lock into a contract we have tried different brand phones ect ....... you name it this is a last ditch effort telstra don't really give you much for your money anyway

There are commercial solutions. Signal Repeaters used in Highrises etc. Just transfer the signal inside and outside.
Example of what you might be looking for.


Only problem is they are not cheap.
