Quick question. Can I use Comcast internet for Microcell or it has to be ATT internet service installed before I use microcell? thank you!

[gmanist1000]

@koshchanov Absolutely. It will work with any Internet Service Provider.

so when you say it counts against your minutes--does that mean you get charged double? Cell phone minutes and micro cell minutes? Please explain.

[gmanist1000]

@6goat9 IF you buy unlimited microcell minutes, then when you're connected to the m-cell, it will not count against your monthly minutes. If you do not have the unlimited m-cell minutes, then when you are connected to the m-cell it will just use your normal minutes like if you were connected to a normal cell tower.

AT&T's word, like their network, can't be trusted. They try to justify their bad behavior in throttling & breaching "Unlimited" data phone contracts by making up their own definitions (just like politicians & small children).

Webster's Dictionary defines UNLIMITED as: (1) lacking any controls, unrestricted -unlimited access-;

(2) boundless, infinite;

(3) not bounded by exceptions --

Call AT&T & complain, notify your state Atty. General, the FCC & FTC; then we'll organize the lawsuits.

Does the Microcell really eat up your bandwidth? I don't want to make serious sacrifices to internet speed just for an iphone.

[koshchanov]

Thank you!

@eclipse96ful Did you try the microcell tower for your Nokia E71 on Straight Talk? I have the same phone and service and I'm thinking about trying the microcell tower but I don't know if it will really work.

i have a iphone 3g thats unlocked to a att plan h2o and still works on att towers,will this still work thanks a bunch,

[jackopalkia]

wait so if i had a portble modem stick that runs of 3g this thing will give it more bars on that stick!

[KristoferLloyd]

Does this work on Straight Talk Wireless phones that use AT&T towers?

[eclipse96ful]

i live in Ringgold Louisiana with no towers what so ever i bought a Nokia E71 Straight Talk 45 unlimited plan a month because i wanted the best phone that they had not thinking it was a 3g phone but with a couple hot spots in my house so just one ? if i bought this MicroCell i would have to get a landline internet
