Price cut on reception boosting Vodafone Sure Signal

Darren Allan

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… The A-Team.

But it isn’t likely given that they’re completely fictional and live in the eighties.

If your problem is a lack of mobile phone reception, however, Vodafone has a solution. And it doesn’t involve making a machine gun out of planks of wood, coat hangers and an old car engine.

The device in question is called the Vodafone Sure Signal, and it’s basically a small box that plugs into a broadband router.

It employs femtocell technology, and acts as a mini-mobile phone mast, providing reception in the near vicinity where there is none from the normal Vodafone network.

The downside is that the Sure Signal will only work for Vodafone customers, so households with multiple mobiles might be problematic.

If you’re interested in getting hold of one, you’ll no doubt be pleased to hear that Vodafone has just slashed the price from £160 down to a more palatable £50.

    Mr Darren Allan,
    Please inform your readers that this device actually does not amplify any Vodaphone signal.
    What it does is take the signal from the mobile phone and chuck it down the users broadband line. Now, why would someone pay Vodaphone to provide a mobile signal, then vodaphone asks the person to pay them even more so that the person can pass the signal down their own broadband line which they are paying an additional fee for.
    Finally if you are at home within range of your own broadband – and hence computer, why would you use your phone to surf the web,
    This device is a mockery of the intelligence of Vodaphone customers.
