booster/repeater to improve coverage?

[mdude85]

I just moved into an apartment in the middle of a major city, but I have very spotty coverage and lots of dropped calls. I am thinking about spending around $150 on a cell phone repeater/booster and was wondering if anyone has had success with them on the iPhone on ATT.

Or if anyone has had success with any other method of boosting coverage in weak areas. I've tried a power cycle but with no success. I also read that re-inserting the SIM and doing a full restore may help.

ATT has not released their repeater yet

Thanks for the reply.

I believe that ATT has not released their 3G microcells yet, but there are 3rd party companies that sell repeaters (for instance- repeaterstore.com) and I was wondering if anyone had any positive experience with them.

I'm trying to find a repeater because my signal strength in my condo is non existent. How about this site? CAE50? Building Repeater Packages would any of these work with my 3G?

I have not tried the one you have posted but I have tried the one from Solid Signal but with no luck. I do kinda live out in the middle of nowhere so I am not suprised. I have read where others have had great reception with this. I am patiently waiting for at&t's 3g microcell to be released to see if that will do the trick. Good luck to ya!!

How old are you? Most of us are waiting for AT&T to do something or other.
