Mobile phone booster recommendation
Hi all we moved into a new house in an established suburb last September. The phone signal is terrible and calls either drop out completely or lose connection regularly until w-fi calling kicks in. I have a weak 4G signal most of the time but get a weak 5G at night. I want to install a booster but I know it can be an issue with the provider (Telstra) and I think only Cel-fi are approved for use.
Can anyone shed any light on the best way forward please? We only need to boost the voice calls as our wi-fi coverage is very good and very fast. We had 2 repeaters installed when we built so at least that works well! I can go through Telstra but the cost is high and I hate paying money to that organisation if I can avoid it!

Thanks Russ. They have one
Thanks Russ. They have one for car use but not a fixed one for home. It's amazing some of the stuff they sell and the prices are very good. I've got a lot of things for the boat from there.

Can use a cel-fi. They are
Can use a cel-fi. They are locked to a network. You should be able to use a cel fi go even in a fixed home. Ive installed a few. 75% of the time they make a huge difference. 25% can be a big pain. Buy second hand as they are stupidly expensive new.

Apparently in the next 1-2
Apparently in the next 1-2 years it will all be satellite linked so no black spots and weak coverage. Until then Dave there's no easy solution unfortunately
Love the West!

Thanks Jamie and Andy. I'll track down a second-hand Cel-fi if I can.
