Anyone know of a sure fire way of improving mobile reception?
Signal comes and goes even upstairs.
Using a Samsung Galaxy II on T Mobile for the last year. Signal was just as bad before on Orange.
I see Vodaphone do signal boosters but EE / T Mobile dont.
Any suggestions please?

Thanks Steve - I read it all and started to do the mods to my phone.
It all fell apart when it says press the "signal boost" icon - there isn't one in the menu.
I have found this but am not sure about the legalities

If you have a "corner" of the house where there's a signal leave the phone there and use a bluetooth headset/handset to have phone conversations.
Alternatively get a couple of free sims for O2/Voda/3 etc and test if they have a better signal in your area and move contract?

Need to stop my brain frying with all this IT stuff.
Goin for a ride up to the Ponderosa for a coffee, be there about 12.30 if you can make it for a chill.
