if this has a better home please feel free to move it, it is somewhat a work issue, somewhat a tech one,
My new office in my school building this year is a cell phone dead spot. i have a nice i-phone as a work cell which is awesome, just terrible that i can't stay in my office and talk on it. So when it rings i answer and literally run out of my office to a place in the building that i can talk. i can get some texts, not perfectly though. yesterday i saw that i sent a text to my job coach on wednesday and it has not sent yet, just spinning even after i left the dead spot. that was on my personal phone, both phones are verizon. i need to set up my desk phone for long distance again, i need to do this every year but with the cell phone available it has not been urgent. well now i have conference calls for a personal group and i end up sitting in my car for an hour or 2 because i can't use a personal phone in my own office. these calls can be close to work time so i can't call from home and then drive over, in winter this is not going to work. with the desk phone having long distance i can at least do my conference calls but it doesn't help getting calls from parents or others on the cell phone and missing them.
So i called the tech people in my district and they say there is nothing they can do. i am still waiting on 3 things from the tech department anyway, sigh. Are there things you can do? Can the cell phone company do anything to boost a signal in an area?
