We should get on the offtopic mail list for this ;-)
I have read on NNTP of people in the USA using a home cell to get their mobile phones to work at home on areas with too bad coverage. The device connects to your landline internet connection and gives service to your phone while in range.
No, I don't know brands or how they work. Maybe I can dig out some more info from posts, but searching nntp is not that easy (client refuses to search).
My wireless carrier here in the States is Sprint. I affectionately call them the Interstate Telephone Company because if you get very far away from the interstate highways they stop working. That's not really true now as they fill in their coverage area but where I live I'm in the margin between 3 of their towers. For a while I used one of their micro-cells (repeater?) at my house and it was generally ok BUT it had its limitations: 3G, not 4G, no handoff to cell network when I left home when on a call, etc. I finally sent it back to them and try not to lean back in my chair now when on a call so the phone doesn't slip into the black hole there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
