Does this cause loss of cell phone signal requiring one to talk by a window or outside?

I have not seen this and I have a layer on the slope of my roof as well as the ceiling. Our verizon service is fine via iPhones.

no, it does not. I have my complete 2nd floor covered with it, and signal is great

It is possible to construct a "Faraday cage" with this material, but unlikely in the intended application. It would only interfere if 1) you electrically connected all the panels on your attic roof together, 2) electrically connected the panels to an earth ground, and 3) only then would it block interference signals directly up through the roof - most cell phone signals are reaching you through your side walls.

So long as you make a tinfoil hat for both you and your phone, you should be fine. It would be a safer bet if you had one for your cat too.

I live in my camper and have a roll of this foil that I bought to add to the insulation this spring. However during the last cold wave I used some of it to cover all openings and windows temporarily. It kept the heat in and didn't interfere with my wifi (router is out side) or my phone that I noticed. I can't say anything for sure except that I didn't notice any problem.

If signal is received at window then this unit will work. But cannot creat a signal if it is not their!!!

A glass window should not impede the signal. A metal screen or frame might interfere but it would have to be substantial.

My unit did that when I was in a couple inner city settings; don't know if it was the limitations from the tall bldgs. or other signals in the city, but unit still functioned flawlessly. When I am out and away from city environments there is no problem. Since it did not interfere with the unit operation at any time, I don't think I would let it bother me.

Not sure. But it does cut in and out as if you were losing reception on your cell phone.

I have had no problems. The cell phone needs to be rather close to your base unit, and there needs to be good signal strength from your cell. If your cell is dropping the call, it needs to be moved to where the signal is the strongest. If your base unit is dropping the call, then your cell phone needs to be closer to the base.

That only happened for me if something was in the way. Check if anything is blocking the mobile.

Yes. On any wireless link, Trees, Climate, buildings, ect., may interfere with the connection between both points.

Lisa, I am not sure what you mean about a poor cell signal. I do have this hooked up to a satellite phone box from AT&T; and it works great. I still haven't hooked up my cell phone to it.

My father-in-law had one of these phones. We talk with him often without any noise. This probably is caused by some local interference. Try using it in a different location.

It could be a problem with the network carrier. Signal quality varies from one network to another and depends on the location as well. Sometimes calls can drop when signal is weak, but not all the time. Personally, I don't think it's the phone at fault unless it is that particular one that somehow has issues. I would try a SIM card from another carrier to compare call and signal quality. If all is good that way, it will definitely prove it's the network. Good luck!

Your signal has been dropped, you need to reset! go on line for instructions to reset. Has happened to a me dozen of times. Many things can cause this but mostly outside interference. No big deal just follow the instructions. Mr. Carmen Mobilio has given instruction above.

Most likely due to a weak signal. Try a station close by and see if it's still a problem.

Yes, both. Samsung recommends that it be near a window to receive the GPS signal better. By the way, it works very well after receiving the signal - from one bar to 5 bars as soon as it picks up the GPS signal.

Seems to be working for me. I have the unit at the end of the home and the computers and cell phones do well at the far end of the home in the Florida room addition which is past the main outside wall to include outside in the screened in porch connected to the Florida Room addition. Have never lost a signal yet. Hope this helps

Not sure what you mean. The GPS works outside. Inside you don't get good reception.

If you are getting only one or two bars (dots) on your cell phone while outside, don't expect much on the inside. You will probably be able to talk and text inside, as long as you do it very near (within 3 ft. of the transmitter). This is what I am having to do. I also have a weak signal where I live.
