I am on Orange and cannot physically get any form of decent signal in the new house.
I wont/cant change networks as it is a works phone.
So if any of you peeps have my mobile number and now want my new home number as well just sling us over a PM
Cheers

I know it sounds wierd but you can make a silver foil holder for it and place it on a window shelf and that can reflect the signal to the mobile, I had that in a previous house and it worked but thats only good for messages and actually getting a signal for as soon as you pick it up the signal will fall off again!
It can be due to high lead levels in the glass or the building being reinforced with iron girders also has a silimlar effect on the signal.

There are these boosters available which have to be wired outside the house with a lead running through the wall/window, I havent used them but they seem to do the trick mate. http://www.mobdev.co.uk/acatalog/single.html |

i had this problem, with orange, in rodbourne.
the only place i could get a signal was where the landline was plugged in, which was nice.
