My v300 had a tough time where I work as well. It probably has more to
do with your carrier, at least that was my experience. I dropped
T-Mobile for Cingular, went with a v400 and have been real pleased
with it.

Hopefully you are still within your grace period and can switch.

argh... it is not an option, unfortunately; my office has a package deal
with rogers. i have also heard from others that rogers has real troubles
indoors.

Your real options include:

1. External antenna cabled to your phone. Lower cost.

2. Active repeater for your residence. Higher cost.

You need the correct type of antenna or repeater for your phone.

Ever hear of GOOGLE?? Geez man, look around a bit! You want things handed to
you? Those things are not 'standard accessories' and you'll have to be a
little bit more resourceful..

don't be such a prick. i have a problem, i asked a question... obviously
there are individuals that frequent this group who are more knowledgeable
about this cell stuff than me. anyway, i am under the impression that
resourcefulness may be defined as the ability to find resources... in this
case, information and knowledge... what better way to find what i'm looking
for than to ask a question, thereby potentially saving myself hours of time
sifting through the info on the net when i don't even know where to look?

perhaps all these other people should stop posting questions, too... so as
not to bother you.

Use Google, thus saving those other people the time they spend on your
question.

The time to ask a question is when you can't find the answer yourself, not
when you're too lazy to even try or too selfish not to take advantage of
others.

We're here to help those that need and deserve help, not because we have to.

well, i would argue that anyone in need of a pointer or two on a foreign
subject deserves just that. and how can you possibly claim that i hadn't
already looked into solving this for myself? surely you must realize the
plethora of info on the net regarding anything cellular.

anyway, enough of this arguing; i'm weary of defending myself. i'm no
stranger to usenet, and therefore i am always appreciative of anyone who
takes the time to offer a helpful suggestion.

I realize the effectiveness of tools like Google.

I am always appreciate of anyone who takes the time to help themselves before
presuming to ask for help from others.

Vince, I agree with you 100%, I used to think this forum was for help, but
there's a group of "know it alls" here that can't wait to tell someone how
stupid or lazy they are for merely asking a question. Their motto is why
help someone when you can be snotty.
