Nobody can connect to the MicroCell unless they're on the list of authorized devices. The phone number, or numbers if you have a family plan, from your account are automatically added to the list when the MicroCell is added to your account. You can add any other AT&T Wireless phone numbers you want to the list for a total of up to 10 phone numbers. This prevents your neighbors or someone walking down the street from connecting to your MicroCell unless you've add their number to your list.

10?

they told me 5.

also apparently this is intended for residential use only and they're not wanting to give it to business customers. apparently they're releasing a BYO-bandwidth femtocell solution that has multiple antennae that can hand off to each other. (you can already get this if you're a big customer, but it's a very, very expensive solution and they're footing the bill for the 6 minimum t1 lines it takes).

what bothers me the most is i've been asking about getting this femtocell for a year. we're a business customer, a very large one though our office where we're having issues isn't large in particular. instead of trying to send me this $150 device so my own phone would be fine they made me go through this crazy proposal process to get several cabinets full of shit installed in our suite. won't say how much all that was expected to cost. all i want is this stupid femtocell so i could walk 30' in my downtown chicago office without my calls dropping.
