Cell phone coverage in my house is crap - got worse when we put a steel roof on (biggest tinfoil hat evar!)
So - I would like to purchase a cell phone range extender - anyone have any first hand experience / recommendations?
Cell Phone Range Extenders
So - middle of the road units look like this: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/smoothtalker-smoothtalker-cellular-signal-booster-kit-brbcx2-65xk-black-silver-brbcx2-65xk/10342352.aspx?
Cheaper ones like this: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/weboost-weboost-eqo-home-cell-signal-booster-kit-473120f-473120f/10415976.aspx?
And you can really go nuts at the top end of the range: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/weboost-weboost-connect-4g-x-cell-phone-signal-booster-kit-471104f-black-471104f/10386467.aspx?

If you have WiFi your cell provider might support WiFi calling. I know that Rogers does.

Solid tip - if there were still Reps you would get Reps. https://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Wi-Fi-Calling

Only available on iPwns...
I'm using a Galaxy S7 on Rogers, and it works...
And with the Rogers implementation, you can make calls to your calling zone, for free, from any WiFi access point around the world.

So I ended up phoning these guys (as you were all pretty useless on this topic - except Switch - he deserves reps): https://www.freewaycom.ca/
They recommended a Fusion4Home at $565.00.
I'm going to do one last check on getting a landline first, but will probably order one of these units.
Will report back with results.
