How Do You Extend Your Wireless Connection? 214
ganjadude writes "So I am moving to a location where the cell signal is very poor (I don't get signal inside my house), and I have been looking at wireless extenders such as the ones that Sprint and Verizon have. I am brought down by the cost (Sprint charges monthly, Verizon $250 up front, AT&T.... well they are AT&T). Being that this is Slashdot, and a lot of us live in basements (I kid!), I assume that some of the crowd has had this issue in the past. What have you done, or what alternatives are available to someone in such a situation?"

If finding a solution to the actual problem of not being able to respond to phone calls is what's important, may I suggest an alternative workaround?
Forward your cell phone to a land line in your basement.
