M-CELL mini tower...
We live off Rainey Trail. Awful service. Calls drop all the time. Anyone who has At&T in our neighborhood has to go outside to make a call. My husband called my phone as we were standing right next to each other and my IPHONE never rang. We had the sim card change and it still didn't help. AT&T offers for 100.00 (no longer free) a product called M-CELL that is suppose to act as a mini tower. However they told us you should have Comcast internet for it to work because for some reason Centrylink doesn't work well. You plug the mini tower into the modem/wireless. It worked well for my husband's blackberry he got 5 bars and on the phone's face it says AT&T M-CELL so you know it's activated but my Iphone has a hard time picking up the signal.Customer Service told me to go into Settings,General,Network and disable 3G (oh yeah, won't work with 2G phones) then once disabled my phone goes into 2G (E) then I go switch back into 3G and at that time (sometimes) my IPHONE picks up the M-CELL signal. When it works its great. We are still going to request we get that 100.00 back. Not fair to pay for cell service and have to buy additional equipment to get it...Were thinking once AT&T moves to lake Sumter the service may get better. They just need more towers!! NOW I must tell you when I go into 2G (E) I actually get 4 bars... Crazy!! I told AT&T that and they knew it already but they said you can't use the data with 2G...
