Mobile signal booster / repeater

Same problem with all providers?
Seems the signal doesn't wish to travel , was hoping to suck it in . thick walls and insulation don't help
Me too now, as long as the broadband is actually working!!
Had a tense call recently when our line was down again, and I was informed that the calls would be put through to my mobile. I pointed out that we have no coverage in the house and rely on wifi calling... which astonished him.

Dunno if these are approved in the UK, but they are the only legal boosters available here.
Work well, I have one in my house ( I have no landline & mobile signal is very poor )
lots of people have them hardwired into their vehicles as well
not cheap though, about $1200
our mobile signals seem to be getting worse over the years, not better

Unless the law here has changed recently, these are illegal to use in UK but not illegal to buy.Dunno if these are approved in the UK, but they are the only legal boosters available here.

WiFi calling has mostly made cell boosters irrelevant but that requires good broadband.
Is CDMA still in use in Oz?
As above, consider a wifi mesh. What is your broadband like?Anyone had results trying to improve a poor mobile signal , we have good signal but it's 200m from the house by which time we're down to 1 bar .
We only have mobile broadband as copper wire is worse in our area
I'll look at the wifi mesh , just need to pull a bit more signal in .
Thanks

Depends how much you want to spendAnyone had results trying to improve a poor mobile signal , we have good signal but it's 200m from the house by which time we're down to 1 bar .
Someone on here set up a mobile router & antenna 200 m from their yard & sent the signal back to the yard using wireless bridge kit. Involved digging a power cable
See if I can find the thread

4G broadband
Here are some interesting details of the availability of an alternative to slow landlines where a mobile signal may be viable, even if a group shared a small aerial above a valley of dwellings perhaps.

That’s fine for data,doesn’t work with phone signal for calls.

a lot of the time, I use mobile data ( via the booster ) for my internet connection, even using my phone as a “hot spot” for my desk top PC
the only broadband available to my house is satellite & it can be pretty sh!t at times
CDMA doesn’t exist anymore
It does with wifi calling. Got an outside aerial to send tinterweb to the robots. So also works for most of our farm yard as well as the house. You can have perfect phone signal in one place, walk a few yards & its gone. Wifi calling works well everywhere.

as @Wesley says, WiFi calling is the dog`s wotsits
On EE it`s standard, On Voda only standard on certain (dearer ? ) contracts.
Not sure about other networks

Vodafone here is awful, get a signal at the front of the house, go to back rooms and it's gone off.
Used to be a Mast across the valley on an old quarry, since they took that away it's no good, daughter as been with most providers over the last few years but they're all the same.
Vodafone some years go did sell something to boost signal, but not anymore, they now claim coverage is so good it's not needed, and they don't seem bothered about loosing a customer.

Yeah, but how far does a wifi signal travel ?
A few km isn’t a problem with the right kit if you want to send it to a fixed point
