Help! No Cellular Signal Bars- (less bars in more places)?

by wolfticket2003 . Updated 18 years, 1 month ago

I am totally infuriated!! AT&T can’t/won’t help- they don’t deal with this issue- their standard answer is “power your cell-phone off, and then back on.”

Problem: I have (not 5, 4, 3, or even two) but ONE signal bar most days when I’m in my home office- where I’m supposed to be able to make business calls. The signal is so-oo- lowww that each & every call I make or recieve is either muted during the call, filled with static, plagued with mysterious blank spots(connected but not able to communicate) or just DROPPED completely. I’ve researched this, and all possible solutions, and I’ve been told that it’s probably the building..(but there are 4 towers in this area!) and I need to buy a piece of equipment called a Wireless Extender Signal Booster: ($214.99) ref; amazon. I can’t afford this!! What if it STILL doesn’t work? Plus you have to mount it OUTDOORS and you need the technical knowledge to do it right. The only other answer I know is to MOVE! (I have a blackbrry pearl by RIM)
Calling all techies to help non-tekkies!
