How can i get a better signal on my blackberry 8530I. I just started a new contract and only have 1 week left to cancel. Sprint tell me I can not use a sprint phone due to no signal and have to use the nextel one we got. They only get 0-1 bars signal and drop call all the time at home. I can not find anouther provider that has a good signal here. Do I get a signal booster and if so how do they work an which one do I get. Thanks Jim
The Blackberry 8350 doesn't get the best reception. If you need a Blackberry you don't have many options. If you just need a phone with great reception the i1, i465, and i680 are all going to perform better than the blackberry.
Call Sprint and tell them you want an Airave to provide coverage inside your home (assuming you have high speed internet).
I tried that and sprint told me that I would have no signal with sprint and have to stay with Nextel. They said the Airave does not work with Nextel.
That is correct. The Airave does not work with Nextel and if you live in an area that is not serviced by Sprint they cannot sell you an Airave.
Wilson signalbooster work great. I have one for my Sprint service. They have stuff for Nextel: Cell Phone Antennas and Cell Phone Boosters at Wilson Electronics
Best bet is at&t in that area. I never had much luck with Sprint up in that area either, even with it roaming on Verizon. Maybe they'll let you out of your contract for a reduced fee due to the signal issues.
