Subject: [MSUNAG] Cell phone dead zones in buildings
I’ve gotten a couple of inquiries lately about what can be done to improve cell phone reception within our building. Mainly it’s “I can’t get my email!” from smartphone users.
I suppose they could go to WiFi, but I’m told this will quickly suck batteries dry (I don’t have a smartphone myself so I don’t have any firsthand experience with that)
Is there such a thing as a cell repeater that can be placed inside a building? Or some other solution that has worked for folks?
