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 €śnot-spot€ť with abysmal
signal strength on all networks.

If your network doesnt have such devices, change to one that has.


Now that many phones support calling over Wifi the picocell offerings
have become redundant. You might still get one second hand though.


I've been using iD with wifi calling (ÂŁ6/month) for about a year now and it
works perfectly well. Added bonus is battery life has increased considerably
as I keep the phone in airplane mode when at home. Which is most of the time
right now. I think you need to check your phone's compatible though.
