For all of you who bit ch and complain aboit everything understand where and how cell phones came to be. cell phones are not meant for penetration of buildings but for mobile use outside of brick and mortar. everyone complains about dropped calls and bad reception in there homes but aren't willing to pay $10 dollars a month. give me a break. now you can get rid of your home-phone with a guaranty that the cell will work. do you pay less then $10 a month for home phone. Oh yea if it was at&t choice they would have a tower everywhere but idiots like you will complain about how ugly they are.

THANK YOU AT&T FOR THINKING AHEAD

Um, yeah they are! Why does AT&T have dual band (850/1900) coverage? The lower band is for greater penetration of building materials. It's not like there's any sort of expectation that cell phones will/should work anywhere, but they've been steadily improving in their reception because designers have been working specifically on improving in building reception.

but aren't willing to pay $10 dollars a month.


I'd gladly pick up such a service if it was truly only $10 a month. But m...

Yes it is better to penetrate building but that doesn't mean it was made nor is it good at doing it. that is why Wilson electronics sell so many antenna's that are to be placed out doors and a cable is to be ran inside.

Well the way it works is by putting a so called modem to your broadband connection that can register up to 5 phones on the network for one low cost. much like a wireless router per say.

this product will omit the terms and conditions of reception you are refereeing to because if working off of a broadband network it wont need towers there for will GUARANTY working phones unless the system goes down but that is the same as a home phone.

I'm not even sure where to begin with this post. First of all, you are right, cell phones never were designed for in-building use. And that's the last part about which you were correct. AT&T is not thinking ahead, they are in fact one of the last carriers to roll out an in-building solution. T-Mobile was first with their UMA/wi-fi phones that can make calls over your home wi-fi network. Then Sprint released their femtocell product. So AT&T is actually a bit behind.
This might sound a bit trollish, but guarantEE has 2 ee's, not a Y. Use punctuation while you're at it! Your post is a jumble of run-on sentences, questions without question marks, and spelling errors. It is irritating to read. I'm just pointing it out since yo...

Way to waste everyone’s time with that post. Guaranty is proper! It is how you spell it in old English and or the banking system. Also punctuation is for people in the business world which we are not. So next time worry about ummmmm lets say content and not being a douchebag!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Enough punctuation for you???????????????????)
