I live miles from cell coverage and need something to use my iPhone at home for at least texting with family. Will this do that for me on my wifi?

It should work fine. The microcell is just that, a micro cell. It isn't a signal booster. It uses your Internet connection to create a cell signal in your house.

I had the same situation and can now text and make and receive calls. It's worth a try, especially with no other alternative...

You will have to have internet coverage, and not from satellite. If you have that, cable or DSL you will not need a land line (unless it is required to procure the DSL in which case get the cheapest service possible as you will never use it. That is what I had to do in Northern Michigan. Good luck.

The device should work for you in this instance. We had similar issues with AT&T; coverage on an iPhone 5, and it gave full 4G service; Our phone calls and texts work perfectly when on the Microcell.

What bothers me is that you said you live miles from "coverage," which could mean you show zero bars of signal. That won't work. You need to be inside the AT&T; coverage area and showing some kind of signal. Even one bar with -105 dB will work...but there needs to be something to latch onto.

Sorry I can't answer that question. I have the WiFi version because I already have the iPhone but go directly to Apple Support. They are good, fast and knowledgable. I am quite sure they will be helpful.

Yes, but you will only recieve unlimited texting. The WiFi only gives you faster speed and web browsing. But most smart phones run faster with texting, talking, and data without the WiFi.

hey. the ELM327 will 'create its own WiFi network inside the car. You can then connect your iPhone to that network just as you would to any other WiFi. This device works pretty nicely!I use it with an App called 'DashCmd' found on App Store. Good Luck.

The iPad I purchased has the "ability" to have cellular service through Verizon - but it is not "required". It will work just fine on WiFi only. Keep in mind that they do make WiFi only models that will, most likely, be less expensive than the cellular-enabled units.

No it would not. The 30mb limit is only used up when you access data using T-mobile's cellular network, not when using your home or office wi-fi.

I havent used it since i bought. But my brother has one and it works even for your iphone. Easy and cheap wifi , compare to traditional router. Good luck.

Yes, we have our's set up on the home WiFi. If you mean a portable WiFi hotspot, I'm sure you can do that as well.

Negative. This is as dumb a phone as they come. Go for a Verizon KINm or KIN2m. they have wifi and are great little phones with good battery life.

Not sure. We only got the wifi model and use our iPhones as a hotspot for Internet on the iPad when we are not at home.

I purchased the model that is NOT connected to verizon, or any other phone company, but CAN connect to the web. So I use my home WiFi to access the web to use it. Others purchase the Verizon connected so that whereber you are, you can connect to the web. But my plan is to eventually get an iPhone, which will allow me to use whatever phone company I use for my iPhone to work as a mobile router -- that way I won;t be paying for 2 web-access fees, just the one I would anyway for a mobile phone.Hope that helps.

Yes, this will definitely take care of your needs. It will likely provide a strong signal no matter where you are in your house. Quite easy to set up and works great!

I bought the Bad Elf for navigating beyond cellular range. It works very well when there is no cell coverage available. I live in Alaska and our network is limited.

Yes. You can forward it to your cell if you are away from your office/home.

It does connect to my house wifi but as far as service for phone call no. When Im home it automatically connects to my wifi and I can use my internet, apps, fb faster.

I don't know what you are looking for it to do. For me I have no Wi-Fi. But I now pick up several Wi-Fi sources around me and I get Wi-Fi for free. It may not work everywhere for everyone. It definitely works for me. Just plug it in the USB and pick up free Wi-Fi near you. It says yup to 5 miles.
