Depending on your network, some providers will give/sell you a device
to route calls through your own broadband via a picocell.

My sister has one as her house is in a mobile phone €�not-spot€¢ with
abysmal signal strength on all networks.

If your network doesn€˜t have such devices, change to one that has.

They're getting more and more difficult to get nowadays

Yes, Wifi calling is the new way.

and works very well.

and works *pretty* well,unless you have marginal reception when the
stupidPhone„¢ will always pick bad cellular over good wifi...

Put it in aeroplane mode and it will ignore cellular signals. You just
have to remember to enable it again when you go out. My home reception
is pretty marginal so for best battery life I put it into Wifi only.

It helps save power not to have it go - no signal, "ET phone home" at
maximum possible transmit power on a regular basis. My battery life app
also shows effective signal level the correlation is very striking.
