I would not blame it on the insulation. I have a well insulated
home with foil backed insulation all around and my crummy reception
inside is the same outside. Some times OK sometimes not. That said,
you could try hunting around your home to find what spot or spots are
best and worse or just follow the advice others have given you.

I have a cable based phone as well as my cell phone. The cable
phone is cheap and no cost long distance, and I have a pay as you go
cell phone, which I pay about $12.00 a year for. I don't use it much
except when traveling. As a side benefit, I have a backup in the
event one or the other goes out.
