I live in a area which has marginal reception from a service provider. My cell with regularily drop, but my wife's cell is fairly reliable. Can I improve my reception somehow?

If each of you has different phones, each phone has different antenna performance. Some phones do end up working better than others. As far as signal boosting, I don't believe those commercials for signal boosting. I don't believe there is anyway to improve, the individual phone. Your problem may be with a faulty phone or not extending the antenna. If you have a phone with an extendable antenna then it needs to be extended for maximum reception of the signals wavelength. Some phones may even have recalls for faulty receivers. Check with a store.

Line-of-sight to the nearest repeater can affect Signal Strength as well as magnetic Fields,Local radar Systems,WEATHER!!!(That's the major one!).
If you are in a Built up area with no signal take-off point then your signal will be None existent!(Even if the repeater mast is in the Next Street!).

You can buy a cell phone signal booster. Expensive (about $300) but it definitely works.
Do you and your wife have different brands of phones?
