Phone signal is very weak in my house

The T-Mobile phone signal in my home is consistently weak, with the signal indicator frequently displaying 0 or 1 bar. As a result, I often experience difficulties in receiving or making calls at home. Even when connectivity is established, the audio quality tends to be unstable. I am currently exploring solutions to enhance the signal strength within my home. To my knowledge, T-Mobile previously offered free signal boosters for areas with weak coverage; however, this option appears to no longer be available. After conducting research online, I have identified several potential solutions for improving phone signal strength, including CellSpot, Femtocells, and standalone signal boosters. I would like to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Could you recommend the most suitable choice based on your expertise?

    T-Mobile stopped offering those to custimers years ago.  What device are you using?  Is it possible the weak signal you are getting is the result of an Intel modem in an iPhone X to 14?

      My wife and I are using an Android phone, rather than an iPhone. Both phones have the same problem.

        What devices are you both using?  Are there any potential sources of interference that might be causing the reduced signal penetration to your home?  Are your SIM cards more than 3 years old?  Have you tried performing a Network Reset on both devices followed by powering off each device for 5 minutes to allow it to refresh its connection to the network?
