AT&T Posts Details About the MicroCell, Its Femto Cell Product
Could be good if...
But I highly doubt that it will be free because its AT&T and only Sprint seems to "Need" customers right now so I just don't see them wanting nor caring about attracting customers like flies to doo-doo.
Available unlimited minute plans – individual or FamilyTalk plans.
Since they mention that "plans" are available, I presume, you're not getting unlimited calling if you use the device. However, whether the device requires its own plan (it shouldn't) or whether they're just talking about the regular cell plan, is unclear.
It's really not a landline replacement device. It's more for improving coverage in homes or offices that are in weak signal areas.
$20.00/month on top of the already ridiculous price plans, GTFOH. Like Jayshmay said, Why should you have to pay extra at all let alone THIS MUCH extra to provide/enhance signal in your home when thats their job?
This is a joke.
The only benefit Is the data because of four users at a time but then once again your already paying your internet provider since it has to be connected via broadband internet. SO its like paying for a router.
So wouldn't it be more beneficial to just get a router and use VOIP so you don't have to pay $20 a month.
Plus I heard that you can call international with VOIP?
The big advantage of a microcell is that it's the same phone number & device you have at all other times, so you're always being contacted by the same portal. For people that don't mind having multiple numbers/contact methods/contact pools, it's well worth the cash to stick with VOIP.
Given how terrible AT&T was in my old place, I might have sprung for this, but in my new house, it's decent. AT&T signal is still lousy most places I go, though.

It costs $150 and service is free. Alternately, users can opt to pay $20 per month for unlimited talking.
Doesn't sound that OUTRAGEOUS to me.
Now once a year wouldn't be worth it for us, but I could see where an owner of the condo, who uses it regularly (the area has summer actvities, as well), would find the device useful.
Not that it would be better then anymobile for anytime.
