Signal booster for coverage in rural areas

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi. Does anybody know of a way to boost coverage for the O2 signal in rural areas. Sick of hanging out of the window.
I have decent broadband speed from sky but O2 customer services have told me the poor reception is not their issue. Told me to look on ebay for a booster.
When I mentioned a boost box to use the internet to phone they just blanked it. Denver even considered it as an option although my neighbour on a business contract has one and it works fine.

Shame really as I've been a loyal O2 customer for years and it seems myself and my wife will have to leave.

Cheers
Paul

Would be great for everyone to get a full signal everywhere but it ain't gonna happen.
Illegal interference of radio transmissions isn't the answer though.

Hi Forum,

It's been a long time, how are we all?

My cousin is a complete technophobe and needs help with her o2 Mobile Phone Signal Booster. It's not working and she said that there is a constant red light. I am trying to get her to tell me if it's flashing or solid, can anyone help with either scenario?

 

Thanks,
Christopher

If it's a boostbox she'd be advised to call business cs on 8002. There's no one on here that I know uses one.

As we always say. Go with the network that gives the best signal, whoever that may be!
There isn't a one stop network that will give great coverage everywhere.

No, but wouldn't it be great. Then networks would have to entice us with price and service only.
