Hi Guys,

Got a quick question regarding Signals from base stations. If there were no Hills, Houses or anything to get in the way of the signal sent from a base station. How far do these go for 2.5 G and also 3 G if possible?

Cheers!
David

It is my understanding that this will vary from base station to base station. Bepending on location. In a city centre they will use lots and losts of low power stations, were out in the country side, they will use fewer high power stations.

the powers of transmitters are on the sitefinder website.

I am trying to find out why my phone on Vodafone does not work very well you see when I visit friends & family in an area near Kendal.

You have to go to the third floor in the house just to get one bar of signal.

The nearest base station I can see is T-Mobile at 32dbw out of the max 32dbw. Others are around the 28/29 but are very close to the centre near Asda.
