With a car kit you get much better phone reception so would it be possible to b@stardise one to give me better reception in the office? I was thinking about an aerial on the roof down to a phone kit and then connect another aerial to the "output" at the other end to boost the signal in the office. Reception is strange at the moment, one bar intermittent at my desk, but five bars 10ft away.

What do you recon guys, is this gonna work?

You can buy a kit with an aerial for your home/office.

Chaz- My localish phone guy has sold them for years.

I guess it's a case of asking at an independant moby shop.

Reception is boosted by holding the aerial against your jawbone apparently......

Nick- That works using your body as an aerial if you want to say boost your alarm keyfob to get in the car but I can hardly see Chaz wanting to strap the phone to his face in case he's awaiting a call from someone, can you?

Just been into my local phone shop. They don't know of any such device.
Looks like I'll be going for the car kit option.
