Love TMobile but desparate in Southern Oregon!

Well you can propably get a signal repeater which can help you in house issue. There are some that are dual band and some that are single band and if you want to get one that helps your T Mo account you would need to get the 1900 band one. BAsed on the WA it looks like in your zip code Cingular only uses the 850 band and if you want to make a diference for both then I would get the dual. The repeaters can run from $200 for the single band up to 500+ for the dual band one but that will cover the whole house and you do not need to attach any thing to your phones.

Now as to the using the Nokia instead, my thought is that it will not help as the Razr does equal if not even better the Nokia in reception and your Dad's Nokia is doing better as it is working on the 850 band which has a stronger penetration capability.

 

Amplifiers are expensive, and unless you are really really tied in with one company for some reason I would suggest weighing in your options for a service that works better at your house. T-Mobile is out, looks like Cingular is out too because service isn't good, so I guess we are looking at either Sprint or Verizon. They both have a trial period where you can try out coverage/features.

 

Ilike this one: http://www.wirelessgalaxy.com/anten...rting=&productid=231&blnsearch=false&pageno=1 and it is dual band whixch means it will conver both teh Cingular/T Mobile. VZW and Sprint (but not Nextel).

 

Sprint looks to have good coverage in medford if youre going to switch.
