Network coverage at the time was pretty poor with all the carriers but according to the coverage maps 3 Network wasn't bad and they also had very attractive data packages, so we went with them.
Over a period of time it became obvious that their indoor coverage wasn't too hot so, over the last few days, I have been talking to them about a Home Signal box. A piece of kit (femtocell) that will boost your signal using the internet.
For some reason they go through a bit of a hoo ha before they consider that you should get one but eventually they admitted that my signal was poor and sent us one. What a difference. I've gone from no signal (or one bar) to a full four. Wow, excellent.
Now all I've got to do is get the system to recognise Jan's phone as well and we're sorted.
I didn't know that such booster boxes were provided. Not that I need one, thankfully our coverage is good, but good to know it's there.
ReplyDeleteCan't you just get Jan a 3 PAYG sim? Or does the box only boost one phone?
I believe all the carriers have them but they don't publicise it. Jan already has a 3 contract and it isn't a problem having her connected (you can have up to five 3 Network phones at the same address) it's just that it hasn't happened just yet.
