3 Mobile Signal

[Gaz1888]

Hey guys my last mobile contract was with 3 mobile..But i couldnt get a signal in most of my house so decided to go elsewhere after my contract run out..3 mobile then offered me a deal that i couldnt turn down and also give me free of charge a home signal box..Since setting up the signal box its been brilliant..like a whole new network. 3 do have signal issues but my only gripe was i cant use my fone at home... until now...if any other members has the same problem id get on to 3 for a signal box. They work amazing

And if you're looking to move provider, check opensignalmaps.com/ (which is an independent site) for signal coverage. This showed me that I should move from O2 to Three, and I've not regretted it!

all our family are on 3 and its crap it does my head in,cant get a signal in my living room infact the front half of my house i might ring and ask about a box then if they are that good

Be mindful that they use the 'box' as a customer retainer, so if you find the customer service rep is being negative about supplying you with one, then mumblings of moving provider might just help.

Basically you plug it into a socket and then connect to your router with the supplied ethernet cable..it flashes red for quite a bit then it goes soilid green and then happy days...Easy

So does it eat into your data alowance from your internet provider? I am wondering if it provides a signal that is available to people on 3 who are close by, and you are using your internet connection to suplement them.

The units only work for registered phones - and it's you that controls which phones are registered. You won't get passing users accessing your 3 unit.

As for bandwidth, yes - it does use your internet connection to provide the service. A lot of these 'Pico/femto cells' require at least 1MB internet connections to work.
