Little to no signal inside appartment

hey guys! i recently moved into a new a appartment and my fiace and i both have evos and we get week signals. funny thing is that its strong to get texts calls and very weak 3g. the phone rings but when i answer the person on the other side does not hear. my question to you guys is, is there any kind of a repeater or signal booster i could install that could strengthen my signal? i thought of the airave but dont really wanna pay extra for unless theres a way to "unlock" it and do it for free.

There are signal repeaters available that you can buy, but they are quite expensive. But, there are no monthly fees to use them, so it might be a wash compared to the Airrave.
Check out something like this:
Buy.com - Wilson Electronics 801247 Desktop (DT) Cell Phone Signal Booster for Home or Office - For Multiple Users

Heres a google search that might help as well:
cdma signal repeater - Google Search

Hope that helps!

Never hurts to ask, you can't use your phone in your residence how is that not enough?

call from somewhere besides home and tell them your afraid to call them from home because the call might drop. be very dramatic about it. they are more than willing to give them away and waive the 5 dollar service fee.
