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?


Use a repeater / booster. A bit pricey but very effective:

There are cheaper units which also make an improvement, but you will need to
research various products and pricing based on your specific circumstances.

Hope this helps you,

A "passive repeater" works well if you have a relatively strong
signal. Basically 2 antennas - one inside and one outside, tied
together with co-ax.
