The city I live in, Port Macquarie, has awful cell phone reception basically everywhere (I’m on the Vodafone network).

Is this something I can bring up with the local council, or elected representative?

I can’t believe I live in a city of 50,000 people and I’m unable to receive phone calls from my house.

      Proper repeaters cost hundreds of dollars. I’ve seen homemade signal boosters on YouTube which can be made with $30 of parts from Jaycar.

        Vodafone is good enough, mostly. The main advantage is that it’s dirt cheap, I’m paying $25 a month for my phone and it’s unlimited data. Not fast unlimited, but I don’t get fast internet anyway so unlimited is still nice.
