In house 4G signal

[cookster]

Recently moved to a new house and the 4G signal is terrible.

I've seen signal boosters advertised, does anyone have any experience of a cheapish solution?

Link your phone to your WiFi. Allow WiFi calling in phone settings.

If this is no goid, ring your network provider saying they are in breach of your contract if they cannot rectify the problem. Therefore, you are allowed to leave that contract without incurring a release fee. I've just had this out with EE. They offered me half price for half the service they provided.

All network providers still have blackspot areas of zero bad or intermittent quality. But EE are the best having spent the most to upgrade their network. Kept me in work. And they are excellent to deal with when you need things sorting.

Will not hear a bad word said about EE. Spent time in New Zealand earlier this year and they sorted my problem out even from that distance.

Thanks mate. Data is more the issue not voice.

Yes and no. Ring your network provider, tell them of your situation. Ask them to link your calls to your router. EE do this without fuss. Hope this helps.

Am I being thick here but why do you need 4g if your phone connects to your WiFi?

2g 900MHz frequency Bimbo for calls and texts. 4G for social media streaming downloading films etc. Fastest 4G mobile frequency is EE 2600 MHz fibre optic. I've done loads of upgrades to this, mostly London.

But if your phone connects to the WiFi does 4g matter?

Sorry mate, been busy today. So I take it you don't have a WiFi router?

No worries mate. WiFi/Broadband is with Sky, so I have a router but speed is shit slow (5mb). Sim is with Virgin, unlimited data via EE network.

Ring Virgin and discuss your bad phone signal. EE will send a techy to investigate your local area testing the transmit and receive strength. Maybe it will be ready to upgrade, or maybe it may just need an antenna optimising by changing the mechanical or electrical tilt. May need the azimuth tweaking . This kind of work is my remit. But it's often the case of if you don't ask you don't get. Network providers have an obligation to provide you an adequate service as a minimum if they offer you a contract. Otherwise they are in breach of contract. EE are deffo best network and customer service provider in the UK. Although every network provider isnt perfect. Good luck.
