They no longer give out Microcells for free and only sell them at their stores for $150. This info from AT&T whom I called on the phone. They said they are phasing them out over the next year. They told me to go to settings and activate "cellular" on my cell phone. I did this and it did not fix the reception problems I have with ATT in my home. I advertised on Next Door Neighbor for someone to sell me a Microcell. I found one for $35. The only problem with buying a used one is that the owner must deactivate the Microcell on the website and most people don't know this. The one I bought was not deactivated and I had to contact the owner and ask him to do it. They sell them used on Ebay and it might be difficult to get the owner to do the deactivation with someone you cannot contact. I have great reception in my home with my Microcell and many many dropped and garbled calls without it. This is in Hadley.
