I live in the hilly SF Bay Area, and when I had analog, it worked fine. When ATT went digital, it turned crappy, really crappy. I really don't use my cell phone at home anymore, nor do the other members of my home. Haven't for many years. When traveling, I'm ok with ATT, as it has coverage where I need it (but not at home!) I don't know if Verizon would work better for me, or any other carrier, but I'm ready to cancel ATT and try anyone else. I called ATT and they said the MicroCell is available in my area. I went to one ATT store where they were out, and then to a second store where they had it in stock, but the only thing the rep knew about it was how to ring it up at the register. I've read independent reviews, and generally they are good. But, I still have unanswered questions, and thought someone here may be able to help. 1) If I have lousy GPS signals at my house, how will this thing connect for E911 registration/location during setup? Could be out of luck? 2) Once GPS connection is made, I understand I can then move the unit to another room in the house, and GPS is no longer needed. Yes? 3) Registering my family ATT account members authorizes the Microcell to hand incoming calls over to their cell phones, and to hand over any outgoing call signals they make to the Microcell. Yes? 4) I can register other (up to 10) ATTWS users for use when they are in my home? 5) I assume that when anyone calls from outside (1 mile away or 2000 miles away, and from ANY? carrier), to any registered Microcell user that it senses is within range of the Microcell, the ATTWS knows to route that incoming call to the internet, so that it can reach the Microcell. Is this correct? Thanks
