Mobile signal (Orange) poor indoors.?

No matter which house I've been in in this area no-body seems able to get a good signal with Orange, although never had a problem with O2 or Vodafone.

Sometimes the signal's fine then it just disappears completely only to re-appear a few minutes later, or in another part of the house (don't fancy spending all day & night in the bathroom or garden though !).

I was fool enough to believe that if I had a contract phone with Orange which used UMA technology,this new deal that Orange have with T-mobile to increase coverage and also 3G, that it would be the answer. Nope makes no difference at all !!! It's not the phone, that's fine anywhere else, even in a few houses in the area and I've had phone for 6 weeks now with no improvement.

I know that ideally I would be with another network provider but my daughter took out this handset as an extra one on her contract so I'm pretty much stuck with it.

Is there any way of increasing the strength/reception of my phone ? It's a BlackBerry Curve 9300 (Model RDB71UW).

Many thanks

    If you go on oranges website - There is a way that you can set up your phone to switch to t-mobile if your orange signal is poor!

    At the top of oranges page, you will see a tab that says "sign up to get signal from orange and t-mobile"

    Follow the sign up proceedure and that should help
