I used to work in a metal building. It was a giant Faraday cage. Cell signals dropped to none, and to place a call we had to go stand by the front door, which had a glass foyer.

All the employees and the boss were on AT&T so we each called AT&T and whined. Finally they relented, and sent us a free booster that we connected to our cable internet on Cox business. Problem solved. The only problem after that was if you were talking on your cell and walked outside, the call dropped about a foot outside the building. No big deal to tell whoever, you will have to hang up and call right back.

So, go empty your bladder, get a fresh cup of coffee or beverage of your choice, call your provider's national tech support or customer service, and wait on a human to talk to you.

You might get lucky, and find the info on their web site, but don't hold your breath on that. Some good Google-fu may find the info on your specific provider and phones. Someone else out there has the same issue. There has to be a solution. Even if you have to buy the device.

Complex specific questions like yours are what I hope the emerging AI programs can solve. There is no way to type in a complex specific question to Google, but maybe the AI programs can understand and find that answer.
