This may not be the right newsgroup so forgive me. I have a house
that is about 3 years old. I know there is foil lined walls and roof
(inside). As a result the cell phone reception in this house is very
poor except for maybe one or two spots. Any way to get better
coverage inside the house for the cell phone?

Lot's of ways, from adding an external antenna to installing a short
range repeater. What is possible in your particular situation depends
on your phone and the frequency and technology used by your carrier.

Here's a place to start looking:

You may want to try a different brand/model phone first. I'm found
Motorola phones to have best weak signal performance. You're provider
may allow you to try different phones before you buy one.
