Default Anybody with ATT Cell

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

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.

Most carriers AFAIK are only concerned with the high population areas
and don't extend themselves to rural low population area towers.
I had Alltel for 2 years and calls were constantly dropped at home.
With US Cellular...it's the difference between night and day.

But I am in a high population high income area, Chicago, and ATT suks,
if I drive through the ghetto its 5 bar, it must be all them phone
deals they do in the ghetto, they get the good service.
