| Briskodian  | Mobile Phone Signal Boosters Anyone tried one of these as sold on eBay? Iv just ordered one as im sick of having no signal on my phone. Iv recently changed my mobile to O2 as they gave me a better deal than Orange but then discovered I dont get a signal on O2 in my house. Seeing as I live alone and dont have a land line this is causing me no end of problems as no body can contact me. |

| Erm, cancel your contract with o2? You can if you have no signal, that is one valid reason.

| Brianiac did an experiment about signal boosters, the best way appears to be very large amounts of silver foil,

| Some friends of mine have a thing called a Sputnik (or perhaps it just looks like one) and apparently it does have *some* beneficial effect.
