The 3G coverage booster has been reintroduced by Vodafone mobile Broadband at a new cheaper price.
Originally, this 3G coverage booster was introduced in July last year under the name of Vodafone Access Gateway. This booster permit the owners to increase the 3G mobile network in their home thus allowing them to enjoy an excellent mobile coverage and even access to mobile broadband services. One can use this Sure Signal with any home broadband connection which is getting at least 1Mb downloads, plugging into the line for offering more reliable coverage for all 3G handsets and dongles.
ISP stated “Customers no longer need to worry about missed calls on their mobiles due to inconsistent indoor coverage and will be able to take advantage of the full range of Vodafone services via their handset anywhere in the home or office,”.
Guy Laurence, Vodafone UK CEO added “No other network in the UK can ensure a great mobile phone signal in the home, because the Sure Signal is unique to Vodafone,”. “Customers tell us it is life changing. If they live or work in a basement for example, the only way they may be able to get consistent mobile coverage could be with a Vodafone Sure Signal.”
A research was conducted by Vodafone recently which found that one in five Brits missed an important event or occasion due to the absence of signal. On the other hand, 1 in 50 would even prefer shifting house in order to get better indoor coverage.
Up to 32 people can register themselves for using a Sure Signal. Around four persons can be linked at any one time.
Prices began at £50 one-off cost or £5 per month for 12 months on price plans of £25 or more than that. For the customers who are on tariffs costing less than £25 per month, the Sure Signal is available for a one-off cost of £120, or £5 a month for 24 months.
Michael Phillips, Broadbandchoices.co.uk product director, said: “While the Sure Signal can make a huge difference to mobile phone users suffering from poor coverage in their home, mobile broadband customers shouldn’t rush out to buy one, since you need a reliable home broadband connection in order to use it – so you wouldn’t need mobile broadband at home anyway.
“However, there are steps you can take to improve your mobile broadband signal,” he added. “Try adding an antenna extension, ditching your mobile broadband router or investing in a signal repeater if you really have no other broadband options.”
