Looking to change carriers, but will need a femtocell for home coverage.

Whats experiences with getting one for free? Ive only experience with sprint.

Sprint- free, easy to get
ATT- ?
Verizon -?

verizon makes you pay, last i looked into it

microcell from att can be free if you complain enough. otherwise there are a few aftermarket boosters that run 200-300 bucks and generally work for all carriers.

You can get used AT&T microcell's for $50-$125 all day on craigslist. AT&T gave me $100 off when I complained about office service. Free I think is really hard.

^ love to but cant. Work is paying the bill for the phone so Im limited to those 3.

So Verizon- pay only
Att-reduced easy, free maybe.

i tried to get one from AT&T about 3 years ago. My manager at work went and got one free so i tried to do the same. I bitched and asked to speak with the manager. He told me no and it would be $200.

if work is paying, let verizon rape them with the bill, because the service is going to be the best...i'm curious as to where you live that verizon service isn't at least passable

Middle of nowhere.

Actually had someone at my place today with verizon, They got 2 bars at the best place in the house (Ive a two story house so up stairs as well). And was on the 3g net, not the 4g/lte. So ya...

yikes...yeah, vzw probably won't be your best bet...big red thinks you should thank them for the pleasure of giving them money every month and won't do anything to help you out

When we were with AT&T as a company, we had about 50-60 lines of service and whenever we asked for Microcells they gave them to us for free. If your company is paying for a lot of lines of service, have them complain/ask for it and I imagine they'll do that.
