Just moved into a new apartment, but the signal on my orange phone is non-existent until I start walking down the road. Signal starts coming back about 50m from my door
I'm going to ask the neighbours whether they have the same issue, and if not what network they're using.
If it turns out that Orange don't have coverage in the area, is this enough grounds to be able to cancel my contract without any penalties? Currently about half-way through a 12 month contract after upgrading my phone last year. I would want to be able to take my number to another network though.
Alternatively, I've thought about trying one of those stick-on signal boosters that go under the battery, to see if it makes a difference. Do these really work? I've seen them for sale on eBay for literally pennies so am rather dubious as to their capabilities.
The other option is to get another phone until my orange contract expires but don't really want two numbers.
Anyone been in a similar position who can offer advice?
