[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 1100330, member: 330868"] That Sony Xperia phone should be 4G capable anyway as far as I know (although maybe only 1800MHz band and not 800MHz). The "4G voice" is 800MHz on Three I believe, all it means is that you can make calls on it if you wish (it's all IP rather than the circuit-switched voice call system used on 2G/3G). Originally with 4G, the networks didn't support voice calls as it requires them to support IP-based calls as well as standard GSM circuit-switched ones. Phones would fall back onto 3G/2G on making or receiving a call before this was put in place. My phone (also on Three) will now happily stay on 4G on calls - in fact I rarely ever see it on 3G nowadays for any reason! If your antenna solution struggles with the 2100MHz 3G signal, maybe it will have more luck with the 800MHz 4G signal. Technically a bog-standard UHF antenna from before the 700/800MHz TV clearance, especially a C/D group - would be perfect for these signals! As an aside, I bet your location is fantastic for hearing FM radio stations from France and even northern Spain during high pressure! :) [/QUOTE]
