C500 signal problems

[Guest Killian]

Hey all, ive had my c500 for 2months now and have had no problems. I've noticed lately tho that my signal is very temperemental, keeps dying in places where i've never had a problem on any other network.

Could it just be poor reception on oranges side? If it is, i've heard of signal booster things that you can buy which you stick on the inside of your phone. Just wondered, do they actually work and if they do, any recommendations? Hope you can help.

I have to admit that my Orange C500 suffers very badly with signal strength. The network operator logo still shows on the screen (Orange) so I'm assuming that a signal is still present.

no, mine just completely goes. I can be out all night, then arrive home and get around 10 texts that have been sent to me while i'm out but not delivered. Can anyone respond about my other questions?

Of course they don't work :D

There aren't really any boosters for mobile phones. I've only seen one proper booster and that was for the American GSM networks and it was quite expensive. It was basically a fixed unit used to enhance indoor signal.

You actually have to boost the signal in both directions (uplink and downlink) and you usually boost a strong signal into an area of weak signal. If you have a weak signal to start with then a booster isn't really going to help.
