Welcome to CrackBerry.

I have a similuar lack of signal issue. The solution is Unlicenced Mobile Access that allows you to use an Internet connection to host your calls and data.

Only T-Mobile provides UMA in the USA.

Your other option is to invest in a signal amplifier. It will pick up the existing signal and increase the signal strength available to your device. They are not cheap.

Cellular Amplifiers Repeaters - Cellular Antennas - Cell Signal Boosters

And, keep in mind when researching cell amplifiers that you want a piece of equipment that amplifies the incoming and outgoing signals. If it only amplifies the incoming signal, then your calls will still drop and not work properly because your outgoing signal is not being picked up!

buy one of these: Amazon.com: Wireless Extenders Cell Phone Signal Booster Dual Band YX510 PCS/CEL: Cell Phones & Service

or change providers to a service that offers better reception in your home area, or get tmobile's UMA/hotspot@home service or sprint and their airave service.
