Im in a dead zone and I just got ATT Micro Cell, a home cell

booster. Before I had to go to a window to talk, get dropped at
any time and have no basement reception, and sometimes in some
rooms my phone would not ring. Now im 5 bar 3G even in the
basement where I could not even call before, my signal is better
inside than outside now by 2-3 bars, its worth the 150$, the other
400$ cell booster I have never, ZBoost, never did anything. Its
nice buying something that does what it says.

I have my cellular service through Sprint, and experienced the same
pro
blem.
Same solution, too -- except they sent me the signal booster for
free.

FYI, the micro-cell is not a signal booster, it is an Internet
connected low power cell site effectively. You do not have to be in
an area where you can actually pickup a "real" cell site signal from
a roof top antenna, as you do for a booster amp. Of course if you go
with a carrier that has a decent network, you won't have problems
with "dead zones".

I should have switched carriers along time ago but its a hassle with a
contract, Att is the Dead Zone, but now I can talk normaly

I have ATT in the greater NY area. ATT is better for me than Sprint was.
And I love my iPhone ...

A friend of mine and long time iPhone fan finally gave up on ATT after a
few weeks with the iPhone4. The iPhone's antenna flaw is easy enough to
work around, but the ATT network is not. He's using his phone for work
more these days and simply couldn't tolerate the lack of coverage and
constant dropped calls. It was fun watching when he went into the
Verizon store and ordered and HTC Droid Incredible. Reports so far
indicate he likes the new Droid phone in addition to the superior
network behind it. I don't use either an iPhone or a Droid, but I've
fiddled with both and don't find a lot of difference between them.
