Anyone know anything about how reliable/functional these things are? A work colleague has just moved to the back end of beyond and has absolutely no signal in his house or outside it and was thinking about getting one of these boosters (vodafone). Before spending £60+ he wanted to know do they actually work as the site reviews are a tad inconclusive. Does anyone here install or have a working knowledge of them?

Call Vodafone and tell them you can't pick up a signal. They should offer you one for free?! I know EE do.
