Hi

I find myself trapped in a contract with three and the signal at my address is rubbish, despite their coverage map suggesting otherwise.

They have a wifi app to route calls through the internet but it doesn't work on my phone and judging by the comments on the Play store I am not alone.

Do the signal boosters that go on the side of the house that are to be found on ebay work and any recommendations please? I understand that their legality is questionable but I'm not inquisitive.

thanks

We used to have one ~ 10 years ago. It helped a little, but wasn't great. It only really provided adequate coverage to one room.
nb: with the wider range of frequency bands used by networks nowadays, you'd need to ensure that it matches the frequency band used by 3 in your area.

this works well - doesnt do text though - aerial inside in loft - hallway covers whole house - ebay

I think what you are looking for is called a femtocell.

It's been a few years since I looked in to them. They were too expensive back then. That might have changed by now.

Three supply free "Home Signal" femtocells to eligible people. Phone up their customer services to see if you're eligible.

Just to add, I moved from a signal booster to a femtocell almost as soon as EE started providing them ... a much better solution, providing your broadband is adequate

Unfortunately three have now withdrawn their "home signal" product.

They do if you ask for a PUK code in breach of their contract to supply coverage

I didn't know that - do they have an obligation to give you coverage at home?
