It not only provides for inhome phone but eliminated the need for a seperate wi-fi router as it is an all in one. I currently have phones, laptop, desktop, Wii and printer connected to it.]]>Dec 6th 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/Sep 8th 2010 3:07PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/When with ATT and have had no problems since.]]>Sep 8th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/Sep 8th 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/Sep 8th 2010 7:46PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/Sep 8th 2010 3:28PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/
Personally, the problem for us is T-Mobiles coverage overall sucks - I get a signal everywhere on Verizon (even way out in the middle of nowhere visiting some freaking caves - yeah, not my favorite trip, but my phone worked perfectly). I mean, all our phones work at home, but what about a signal booster that can be plugged into the device itself - a tiny little gizmo you could take on a business trip so you can actually make a call on T Mobile from the airport without having to go and stand outside like an idiot? Now that I would pay for, but NOT $300!]]>Sep 8th 2010 5:57PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/Sep 8th 2010 3:32PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/
Exactly! We already pay through the nose for cell service, we shouldn't have to pay for something else to make it work, they should make it work for us!!! ]]>Sep 8th 2010 7:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/Sep 8th 2010 3:41PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/Sep 8th 2010 5:17PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/Don't you realize that for every advance in phone technology there is a price to be paid?Go ahead waste your money on your blackberries or huckleberries or whatever satisfies your ego.
You are now paying the price of your stupidity.

From the FAQ in the link you posted:
"Which features are not compatible with the Network Extender?
Network Extender does... NationalAccess data speeds are available when Mobile Broadband data speeds are not available."

NationalAccess data is 1X (about 2.5G) and Mobile Broadband data is 3G speeds. So you are wrong in saying that these extenders don't do data. they do it just fine, but a little slower. This is the same with Sprint although they do have a 3G extender available now.

So once I got home and called to complain AGAIN the morons tried to tell me I needed a DIFFERENT newer phone without knowing I had just gotten a brand new phone. At that point I said to hell with it and called Sprint and got new service. Verizon keeps calling me and I tell them on the phone as I did in a letter that I don't owe them a DIME for early cancellation! THEY broke the contract with no service. The gal actually told me well, you have service after I told her I had to stand in one spot in the kitchen and she said well, see? You have service! PARDON ME???

What the heck ever happened to CUSTOMER SERVICE?? It sure doesn't exist with Verizon

Sprint is AWESOME!!! ]]>Sep 8th 2010 7:54PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/Sep 8th 2010 8:12PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/08/femtocells-can-help-you-get-a-better-cell-phone-signal-at-home/
Make sure no matter what company you go with that the phone operates on more than one frequency band for bes coverage.]]>Dec 6th 2010 10:35AM
