Terrible Cell Phone Service in my new HOuse

[Sjorge450R]

What can I do about this? I have AT&T (Dont dog it because the service is great where i live except for my house!) and when I am in my house, the service drops to edge and I get many dropped calls. I looked into some of these amplifiers for cell phones, but I have a rental house and dont want to add an antenna to my house. What can I do to get my signal stronger?

Something is interfering with the signal, you gotta track down whatever it is and see if you can fix it.

Oh I found it. Its the structure of my house. Its built purely of brick and concrete blocks....we know how that goes for signal reception

about all I can think of is a booster, and they aint cheap-usually about 100+ bucks.

They have ones that are totally wireless and dont use antennas that stick out like crazy.

yeah i came across this product called the AT&T Microcell. I am going to find out some more information about this tomorrow I think. It seems pretty legit and all the reviews say it works.

Anyone out there use this?

User reviews of microcell. Go to the last 15 or so pages of this thread. The first 15 are from 2009 and may have been improved since.
