I'm spending an unusual amount of time at my mother's house near Macon, GA these days and although I've reported it to AT&T twice, nothing has been done about the terrible cell phone reception. I have to go outside and cycle into and out of airplane mode to get 4G or LTE; inside the house I have to be within a foot or so of a north- or east-facing window. This is a serious problem because I often need to make and take calls, text, or do some basic Internet stuff.<br>
<br>
Is there anything practical I can do for reasonable amounts of money to improve reception in the house? I've even thought about even maybe sticking a Yagi outside and cabling it straight to a fractal radiator or another Yagi inside.<br>
<br>
I ask here because I figure there are folks who know what solutions aren't in the "As Seen On TV," "Solar FREAKIN' Roadways," "infrared jewelry," or "copper-infused socks" class.<br>
