Comment on Review of the AT&T 3G MicroCell by jnoel

Hey there – thanks for the info –

Quick question – can you seamlessly roam on and off the Microcell? Meaning, if you initiate a call in the house and then get in the car and drive away, will it switch over to the ATT network without dropping the call? Or, if you are on a call driving home and you get in range of the microcell does it then flip the call to the microcell without dropping the call?

Thanks-

Jason

Ah….this update to be precise….turns out it started under 10.4 for Intel Macs.

For what it’s worth, this started in general with 10.5 (in case there’s anyone out there who hasn’t upgraded).

I have a Novatel V740 card (Expresscard form factor – plugs in quite nicely to my 2 year old MacBook Pro) which I’ve been using for the last year or so….worked quite well under 10.5 and still working well under 10.6.

I wonder why Charlotte would be first to get this device.
Because ATT really sucks here.
Also, the MicroCell is not working so good for me.
If you are currently losing calls when the iPhone suddenly loses 3G connectivity (for no reason whatsoever) then the MicroCell isn’t going to help that.
The MicroCell works great as long as I’m connected to it.
But I lose 3G connectivity and lose connectivity the MicroCell and I’m standing 1 foot from it.
This thing is going back to the ATT store.
Please god let Verizon have the iPhone then ATT can properly DIE.

Just re-read and saw you have U-Verse. They have that on my street, very tempting…

Yes, very silly question.

Every house I’ve been in the past decade has had plenty of broadband options. And every one has been “in a hole” as far as cell service goes. One bar at best in the house, literally go a few hundred yards up the street and then the signal is fine. Seems to be my fate.

So broadband availability and in-house cell signal strength do not correlate at all.

Hey Jason -

I installed a MicroCell for my friend the other day. She hasn’t used it much and it’s already dropped one of the few calls she made. When she looked it had gone to zero bars.

How has it been working out for you? I’m worried that her AT&T DSL is somewhat unreliable and will be a continued problem.

Do you have Time Warner for Internet?

Have you had any dropped calls while using the MicroCell?

Thanks for any info…

[...] Users can verify that they are using the femtocell (and therefore getting free calls) by looking for the “AT&T M-Cell” alpha tag on their phone idle screen (there’s a picture here). [...]
