No more going outside saying, "can you hear me now?" I got a MicroCell from AT&T and hooked it to my computer. We have 5 bars of service in the house now.

What is this Micro cell of which you speak?

It's a booster for your cell phone signal. It hooks up to your high speed Internet. My iPhone used to say no service about half the time but now I have a full signal.
Do you also have to have your Internet with at&t?
No, I've got Comcast Internet. The Microcell plugs into my router and has a power cable. You get online and register it at AT&T.com and I got a text message on my phone that said it was activated. It cost $199.99 from the AT&T store. I'll probably get rid of my land line now.
Does your cell service have to be with ATT?
glad you got dat I was feeling sorry for you the other night when you had to stand on one leg by the mailbox in the rain to talk to me....

I would think it would. You could call you're provider and see what they have available. I know that this unit will only work with AT&T phones. You have to register each phone number for them to work. It also has a GPS built in for 911 service.Quote:

Oh yea that GPS is also so you can't move it from one location to another... When we moved in SC from one house to another it wouldn't work, Had to call sprint and get it set up again. We also had to program our #'s into it. whem other people came over their phones still didn't work!!!
I guess different carriers have the same thing with different names. I had to program our two phone #s in mine but I can always program more. I think they would have to be AT&T phones though.
and on your account!!! at least that's Sprints rule... our neighbors had sprint and wanted us to add their #'s... sprint said NO.... But we will send them one of their OWN... Sprint didn't charge us for the box or the service. Because they didn't want us to change carriers. When we moved here we were going to hook it up here to boost signal and they said it would be $100.00 a month. (We are in a good coverage area here). Also they wanted the box back or they would charge us for it. they sent us a prepaid fed ex label to return it.
I can add any AT&T number to mine. It's no monthly fee but I had to pay $200 for it. They're gonna get ya one way or another.
Had mine 2-3 months, works fine no more outside to make calls.

I've had one of the mini towers for about 8 mos now, and it has gotten to where we lose all service inside the house, no bars and a big X for no service. This is 20 feet from the tower, it comes and goes, may have to turn off our cell phones and back on just to get a signal. It also takes several tries to get a text msg to "go" as well. Hate AT&T.
Guys you can order a cell booster off the internet... No internet needed for it. It is great for camps where there is no internet service.

I have a signal amplifier in my truck made by Wilson Electronics that plugs into the accessory plug, has an antenna for the roof and it increases your signal to 3 amps. They also make them for your home or for whole office buildings. It comes in handy when we are camping and there is no cell service.
