Lolo,
If you go onto ebay and type "mobile phone repeater" there are a couple of options which come up. There are non-powered versions which are about £10-£20 which you stick either side of a glass window and others which are powered and you need to erect a mast and wire in.
These type boosters work well for example if you have a good signal outside the building and non inside - but will not help where overall reception is non-existant or poor.
Your other option is either Vodafone Sure Signal or Orange Signal Boost. The Vodafone version is a Femtocell and as far as I understand will work on any mobile (On the Vodafone network) and the Orange version needs a UMA based phone on the Orange network to work. Both versions need broadband.
Your other option is a different provider which works well in the area you are having troubles with (I used to do a lot of work in Lifton in Devon and the only mobile which worked was Orange. No signal on anything else. At the time due to lost work it was cost effective for me to buy an Orange PAYG phone and divert my main mobile 'phone to it when I was working there).
I guess there is also the option of a VOIP line and do the same. You will pay for the call cost between your mobile and the number you are diverting too.
Hope this helps.
