Frequently Asked Questions
I activated my MicroCell at the
AT&T store. Do I have to do it again?
No, you can skip Step 3 and proceed to
Step 4 of the setup process.
What’s the best location for the
MicroCell?
Your MicroCell works best within three
feet of a window and not in a basement
or closet. You will improve the chances of
receiving a GPS signal when you install
your MicroCell:
» On first floor or above basement level.
» Next to a window with a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky.
» At least one foot away from other
wireless broadcasting devices.
» When the weather is clear (no clouds
or rain).
Will all cell phones work with my
MicroCell?
All 3G cell phones that receive wireless
service from AT&T will work with the
MicroCell if they are added online to the
MicroCell’s approved user list.
Do I need to change any settings on
my AT&T cell phone to make it work
with my MicroCell?
No, you don’t have to change anything on
your phone. If your AT&T cell phone number
is on your approved user list, it should work.
What is an approved user list?
The approved user list contains the phone
numbers of friends, family and associates
that you allow to use your MicroCell while
they are at your home or office. You can
only add people to this list who have an
AT&T wireless service plan. When they
make phone calls, they will use their own
minutes and service plan. To add an AT&T
3G cell phone number to your approved
user list, go to att.com/3GMicroCell and
manage your settings.
What type of Internet service does the
MicroCell need?
The MicroCell uses high speed
Internet service over U-verse, DSL, or cable.
For best performance, your service should
have download speeds of at least 1.5 Mbps
and upload speeds of at least 256 Kbps.
You can use any high speed Internet service
provider. Satellite Internet service is not
supported. Contact your Internet Service
Provider if your Internet service is slower
than minimum requirements.
