Would be pretty cool if it didn't require $20 a month service. The Sprint and Verizon versions are not 3G, but they also don't have a monthly fee associated.

I thought the Sprint one did require like a $5.00 monthly fee, but it was like $100.00 cheaper than the VZW one? But I agree, it would be much better if you just bought it full-retail without a monthly fee. Becuase basically, you are buying something to congest your own broadband connect and free up the congestion on AT&T's network..... So you are helping them out and they are making you pay for it? Doesn't sound like a fair trade to me. This is just like forcing data plans on phones becuase they subsidize it under contract. They should offer this unsubsidized without a monthly fee.

Sprint does require $5 / mo just to use one, and another 10 or 20 per month for unlimited calling. I read somewhere else that the 20/mo on the AT&T is only if you want unlimited calls through your femtocell. Otherwise, you dont have to pay a monthly charge. Still have to pay to get the box tho (150 i believe)

So they charge you $20 to connect to something you already pay for per month?????? To a network they don't provide? Are you serious? Lame.... AT&T = Rape your customers for money over something you don't provide That's awesome

You only have to pay $20.00 a month if you want unlimited 3G Micro Cell Calling. If you just buy the 3G Micro Cell and don't want to pay the month service, it will just come out of your calling plan allowance like you're using at&t's towers. Review the terms & conditions at att.com/3gmicrocell. Update your post PhoneArena, it is not correct.

Wow, they still haven't made this available nationwide yet? LAME! At least Verizon and Sprint offers it to all of their markets. The CDMA Network Extender may not be 3G but at least you're increasing voice coverage. With Verizon you pay a one time fee for the device and never get charged for using it. Once again, AT&T is working too slow on network technology, whether it be an actual tower or a device that customers can use at home, AT&T is always last and always slow to deliver.

I dunno. I think they want to make sure the device has fewer problems before a nationwide deployment, otherwise ppl like you might criticize them for that too. What IS lame is having to pay to get the box (on top of owning an iPhone). Hell, just for getting the iPhone (or the iPad soon), they should give this for free.
