You authorize the wireless phone number(s) that the MicroCell will recognize. Our wireless phones now work great calling and receiving in our house. No more dropped/garbled calls. We can walk out of the house (in our case only a few feet) and the transition to the AT&T tower is seamless.

Personally, I would never use a third party app as it gives them complete access to my voice and data info as it relayed through their system. My exceptions would be apps created and provided by large, long-time established, publicly owned companies like Verizon/AT&T.

PS I spent nearly 20 years designing, developing and maintaining telecommunication software that operated world wide "over the internet" even before VOIP.

This is very good information.
