There's only one place AT&T drops calls for me, in my basement at my other house... I'd buy one of these just to prevent that. :)

ATT definatly needs one of these. Anything to support a crappy network. "more bars in more places" ...yeah whatever, not in the US

More bars in More Places mean u can get AT&T Service in a larger area(At&t is the largest carrier (service wise) because of their service over seas and around the world.)... it doesnt mean the service is any better.

AT&T's NETWORK is the Absolute Worst!!!!!!!!!!! its about time they did Femto or UMA.... I have to take calls for interviews on new jobs and I cannot use my cell phone from home as the coverage is horrible in my house... So I have to sign up for landline which is "backwards".

If you go to the AT&T site and look for customer services to complain about the network ... "There is NO WAY To DO SO" You can only complain about devices ... why is that???? Specifically when their NETWORK really sucks.

my only question is if it supports 3g or if it's just edge. supporting 3g would make perfect sense, but then again, it's att.

In El Paso, it is the crappiest network around. The whole west side / Coronado area is a dark spot. I had to finally give out on my iphone and switch to sprint.

T-Mobile's UMA is weak. Doesn't work unless I'm standing next to the base station. Can't wait to cancel that line in 2 months. My BB Curve works fine with AT&T.

Maybe it sucks because your WIFI signal is weak just like your BRAIN. In order for UMA(unregistered mobile access) to work good is if you have a WIFI connection. Crappy connection= Crappy UMA service dummy!!! Stop trying to cheat the system and get a real rate plan or maybe you have the basic 29.99 (300) minuites with ONLY WEEKENDS..... and you have to use UMA so you dont waste your crappy little 300 mins Cheap Scate stop complaining because TMobile defenitely doesnt need petty customers like you that want to use UMA to get free minutes I am glad you are going to cancel get expensive gaggin ass Verizon or even crappier AT&T or maybe sign a two year with Alltel so you can get the my circle cheapo

Verizon doesn't need femtocells, their coverage is everywhere.

almost everywhere. but at my house i have 0 to 2 bars. i constatnly have to go by the windows when i answer a call. the person on the other line always says, "whatd you just say, your breaking up!" then sometimes i get call was lost...but thats what a house phone is for lol...howver at&t is the same way, if not worse where i live. i think its good for a carrier to relase these femtocells
