said by aaronwt:said by r81984:There are very few areas where you cannot get a weak signal using an antenna and cell booster to ge a signal in your house.
If you can't get a signal outside your house then you why would you even have a cell phone?
The only benefit to these internet femtocells is if you could use it anywhere you had an internet connection, especially traveling internationally. GPS locking these devices makes them worthless.
So I can use it in the car and other places. I am surrounded by hills and in a basement condo so my reception is poor to non exisitent depending on where I am in my condo.
With the Femtocell, I was able to drop my landline and only use my cell phone at home since I now have excellent coverage around the entire building with my Verizon Femtocell.
I have no problem with it using my minutes. I'm glad there is a solution that's easier than messing with a booster. And since I'm on FIOS I also have no bandwidth issues. Not that the 80kbs a phone call on the femtocell uses would even cause a problem.
the cost of the Verizon femtocell was well worth it in my situation. And also allowed me to drop my landline saving me several hundred a year.
All I am saying that a booster would have solved your problem and would have cost about the same. Sure you would have to of ran an antenna, but the result would have been the same.
