From the end-user's perspective, the Microcell is just like any other cell 
tower- calls get routed to your handset when connected to the Microcell just 
as they would if you were connected to a "real" cell tower.

Dane just meant _you_ (the AT&T user receiving the call) had to be using a 
3G phone, since Microcells are 3G-only- they don't fall back to 2G like 
AT&T's real network does.

The whole point of the Microcell is that the use of it, once properly set 
up, is transparent to the user- it's just another cell site you don't have 
to think about, like all of the other cell sites your phone uses.
