Will a Cell Phone Repeater Help My Signal?

Question

I'm in an area with plenty of towers...reception is not a problem OUTSIDE of my office building. The problem is, the roof of the building is a steel-type roof that does not let cell phone service in/out very well. Immediately when I step outside, the signal is fine. So - does a repeater help such a situation, or am I just screwed like I assume?

Answer 1

I've installed several cell phone repeaters in metal buildings or buildings with metal roofs.  In all cases they provided good reception inside.  If you get one installed properly you should be able to use you cell inside your office.
