So just bought a house. Getting keys this week..
My phone has no signal in the house. I can get a little signal at the end of the garden, still have a year-ish left on my contract.. Mrs. L also doesn't have signal.. This could be a problem. General googling suggests that i can get possibly a home booster thing on my network, but this doesn't help Mrs, who will be the one in the house the most who can't get a booster thing..
I'm on 3, she's on ID.
Is there an easy solution?
And before anyone suggests using a landline, nobody uses landline, not even landlines use landline. The only point in landlines is to use broadband.
Also i'm piss poor for the foreseeable, so buying out the contract so i can change providers isn't really an option..

Otherwise you'll need one of the local Femto cell things, and those are provider specific. Or just stand up the road all day.
I can apparently get a home signal device,which will work for me on three, even through their website doesn't want to tell me how... So as ever it's the wife who is the problem
Id mobile have nothing of the sort to help, phone doesn't support WiFi calling, and even though iD use the three network it doesn't count as on three so Home Signal device won't work for her..
Different providers may operate differently, but the ones I'm familiar with follow a relatively simple process:
There's a caveat on the last bit - sometimes the built-in VPN stuff they use to sort out the VoIP turns out to be utter cack, and you have to open a plethora of ports inbound and outbound on your router (I'm looking at you, Vodafone) otherwise it will simply never link up with the other end. If you have a really crap ISP-supplied router, finding out how to do this may be painful. If you have a grown up one, or know what you're doing, not so much.
However, once they are working, they're generally quite reliable.
Can you get these non-network specific?
..and pay yourself out of the contract citing no signal..
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
