Any way to boost mobile signal strength?

I am moving to a new house which is located in a street between two large buildings. I find that my mobile phone loses all signal strength when I am in the lower ground floor. Even on the ground floor the signal is very weak. I reckon that the buildings next door are restricting base station signals.

Is there any way to increase the strength of the mobile signal into my house? A wireless solution would be preferable of course.

Cheers

ps I am currently using a T-Mobile MDA Vario II

No chance... Can you change network providers?

Well actually I lie. There are passive repeaters but they are not licensed for use.

I'll dig out a link for you in a minute.

Or much cheaper but requires connecting to the external antenna port on your device (if it has one): Link
