Residential Cellular Booster Recommendations
 
We just moved into our home south of 44 and our AT&T cellular reception is non-existent in most rooms and maybe one-bar in the living room. We strictly use our AT&T mobile hotspot for our Internet and television streaming needs. We have a WeBoost mobile cellular booster that works really well in our Motorhome and I was curious if anyone has installed a cellular booster inside their home. Since most of the homes are built with concrete blocks, I was unsure if there was a solution. Switching carriers would be a last resort of ours since we have a great grandfathered data plan.

When I first moved to fenney service was almost nonexistent like some I was ready to get a landline , but someone told me to scroll down to call WiFi I never dropped another call when the tower came on line I shut it off . If you do use the call WiFi when you finally get a good tower connection shut it off because it will start interacting with your tower signal

Call AT&T and complain about service then ask them for a free solution, there have been several previous reports of various carriers providing free mini hot spots or boosters. Hope this helps.

AT&T sunsetted their "Microcell" box. This was a box that created a small cellular zone in your house and then routed the calls through the internet via your router. I believe the reason they subsetted it is because most cellphones now support "Wi-Fi calling". If you enable this on your phone then your calls will essentially be Voice-over-IP calls routed through your wireless router. You should see "5 bars".
