Can anyone techno advise me
I live in the country and have 1-2 bar of signal outside at the end of my drive about 20m away from the house, in the house I have Nada zilch, I am on three. Catherine is on 02 and has one bar in the house in places and 2-3 outside. I would quite like to ditch BT and use a GSM booster to allow me signal in the house. Can anyone tell me what I might need, from the research I have found the kit will be about £300? Any advice appreciated. Cheers Alex |

I'm also on three, in one of their upgraded max coverage locations. I still have to go upstairs to get a signal.

its a catch22
GSM Frequencies O2/Voda/Three = 900Mhz Orange/T-Mobile = 1800Mhz 3G UTMS etc.. 2-2.1Ghz So you need to make sure that you get the correct booster for what you want. Other choice is if you moved to voda and have a internet service at home they now have femtocell for homes to give full coverage around your house, its basicly a small mobile transmitter for your house, a small box about the size of a router.

Clearly you should have checked all that first. The new curve will support 3G.

It is ace, with a full 3G signal throughout the house. All my mates who are on Voda are registered to my device and can use their smart phones here where there is no signal in the village at all. ![]() |

hindle8907 - 3 have been fine for me for 7 or 8 years now, the coverage is way better around here (in general) than some others.
TSM - Thanks, thats v useful info, interestingly 3 use the other networks for voice and only 3G signal for 3G applications as I understand it, meaning I could get a 900Mhz booster and piggy back of 02! Stu - I will still require broadband, but this may well be though sky in place of BT as I then wouldnt need a phone package as i could use my mobile in the house.. Hazaaah! will do some looking into. Cheers Alex |

Sky provides Broadband through a landline, also the Sky contract demands that your sky box is attched to a landline (either BT or Sky) so are you getting your landline from Sky?
or trying to do without a landline? ![]() |
