1 edit | Alacarte Pricing is Sooo Wonderful  I guess the wireless service providers always have their hands out for more money. When I moved to a new home Sprint Wireless's signal was to weak to be usable. Sprint's solution cost more, required me to sign a new contract and purchase handsets with new models that could be locked on Digital Roaming only, to roam on a nearby Verizon tower. I was also required to pay a $5.00 roaming charge per handset since my grandfathered plan did not include roaming. I suggested to the retention department that Sprint should do all of the above at no charge. They refused. I was forced to cancel my more lower cost Sprint service and sign up with Verizon.
If a customer requires a Femtocell in order to get a satisfactory signal in their home, The Femtocell should be provided at no cost to the customer. Unlimited in home usage of the wireless service should be at no cost, to compensate the customer for use of their broadband service. |

While I agree with you, the carriers don't and their customers are the ones paying the price. Either by actually using and paying for a Femtocell or crappy signal in the home.
My brother lives by Luke AFB and his signal gets really bad when he gets near his house. I'm sure this is due to a combination of a tower not being close enough and interference from the base. Since the signal isn't great out there to begin with, he can't use a repeater. The Femtocell will allow him to use his cell phone in the house without the dropped and missed calls that he's dealing with now.
