AT&T Poor Signal Inside My Home...Fix?

That was the question a friend asked me yesterday. I know Sprint equipment pretty well, but is there something from AT&T that helps reception inside your home?

Yes at&t has the equivalent of the airwave and it also includes 3g data unlike the sprint version.

A cell repeater will work too. Make sure it is 800 band. A good one will run 300+ but well worth it IMO. I have one, dual band and it works great! I also don't get DSL which is required to make the airwave work.

Reception is also a function of which phone you're using. Would be helpful if the phone vendors provided RF Sensitivity specs.

Sorry for the late Reply, but here goes....

Call up at&t customer service. Tell them that you are having poor reception in your house and run the motions....

after they go through their typical procedure(s), ask them about getting setup with a MicroCell (it is basically your own personal mini cell tower).

The MicroCells will deliver very good reception for you (or him, or whoever).
