Default Mobile Phone Signal Booster?

I have two mobiles, one O2 and one EE. The O2 phone is fine but the EE one doesn't get a great signal in the house. Anybody know if these stick on signal boosters actually do anything or, as I suspect, its snake oil

Mostly snake oil.

Proper solution is a Signal Box

Vodafone used to do a box that plugged into your Wi-fi and gave you your own 3G Cell and you could add extra numbers to it so your visitors could get a 3 G signal too. I’ve never heard of any other providers do it though

A signal box from EE will do what you want. I had one before changing phones to have WiFi calling which uses the house WiFi when the mobile signal isn't up to scratch.

If you're on a contract with EE speak to them, and they'll normally send one out FOC.
