Improving mobile phone signal

Are there any Locost ways of improving mobile phone reception within a specific area - in this instance my house? I live in a heavily treed area & whilst mobile phone signal strength is fine outside, its pretty useless inside the house. No use changing service providers as everyone I know seems to have the same problem when here

I've been looking at passive repeaters, but they seem quite expensive for a couple of aerials & a bit of circuitry - does anyone happen to have a circuit diagram for a passive repeater & know the aerial requirements?

The car passive repeaters are much cheaper (from about £15) - but are they any good? Could I use one of these to improve reception in one particular area - I use the phone far more in one room than anywhere else?

Any other (sensible!) ideas??

Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

It appears the Vodaphone thingy only works with Vodaphone - unfortunately I'm with Virgin & don't particularly want to swap!
