Mobile reception

[Guest pernod2k]

Hello

I don't know if I asked this question a while ago, I work in a building with poor mobile phone reception but it gets a little better when near windows, is there a blue tooth aerial you can buy which you would stick o the outside of a building and it could amplify the signal to your phone for use inside the building... or something similar

Hmm, yes and no

You can get coax aerials, which physically attach to the external aerial socket on your handset (if it has one). I don't know of any Bluetooth aerials though.

The other option is a "booster" type box. These generally attach an aerial to the outside of the building (using screws and brackets, not rubber suckers) and use a coax cable running into the building to a repeater. The range is about the same as for a wireless base station from what I understand. No idea about how quickly you'll get irradiated, and they cost a couple of hundred pounds.

This one is £350 + VAT + shipping
