OK.......i bought a older house and my cell phone get no reception what so ever inside, when i step outside its not a problem.  Its not just my phone, its who ever has a phone and comes inside my house they have the same problem.  I can really only use my cell phone in the living room, anywere else my phone either says it has no service or says it roaming.  Any one have any idea what could be causing this?  oh yeah i had the same problem when i was living at my parents house, but it wasn't nearly as bad.   Any help or suggestions would be helpful, cause i'm ready to break my phone!

Tin ceilings? Real wood being part of the structure? Where I work, inside gets at most 2 bars, but once you walk outside it is either 3 or 4 bars. If this "older building" was reinforced with metal members, those might also be interfering. Sounds to me like you are in a faraday cage....

Sounds like your house is a Faraday cage. Buying a cellphone signal extender for your home would rectify this problem. They are $170US though.

Thanks guys for your help, i ll have to look into more about the structure of my house and find out whats going on with it and why it hates cell phones

My dads house is stucco. The Stucco is held together by a dense and elaborate wire mesh/fence material. The cell phone reception inside of his house is horrible. HORRIBLE! Guess where my dad loves to call you from, and from what phone? YEP!! You guessed it Johnny, in his house and from his cell phone! Don't matter if the reception is horse crap, he doesn't pay normal toll fees.
