Consumer Technology Reviews “My verdict is that the AT&T MicroCell can, indeed, dramatically improve cellular reception and reliability, but its not a silver bullet. I found it works best in truly dire coverage locations, with little or no service “400-500k 3G iPads activated since March 2010 - 75% chose largest monthly plan “Of course the sceptics amongst us can see Vodafones evil plan from the get go Of Vodafone s go. (2GB/month)” – July 2010 They get you to pay for the shortcomings of their network while at the same time boosting your phones capabilities in your home or office so youll use it more… While that is probably true, the benefit here is that you dont have to move house or provider because you cant make or receive a damn call.”www.ccpu.com Confidential & Proprietary • Copyright © Continuous Computing.
