If your with sprint try getting their airave. With some convincing you should be able to get it at no cost. I've also heard of someone getting att's femtocell for free as well.

No reason it shouldn't be, AFAIK Sprint retention is still offering them for free.

Speak to retentions and tell them you are considering a switch to [VZW/AT&T/T-Mo] because they have good reception in your home, tell them you'll stay if they send you an Airave.

Good stuff. Look out on your bill, if they don't refund the $5 monthly for it, call and ask for a recurring credit.

Also note that with the Airave (even if the monthly fee is credited), it counts as a phone line on your bill and you may get charges taxes and surcharges for it as well.

does the airave work only for the line(s) signed up? or can the rest of the office use it? will they be billed?

It'll work for anyone, and will use their minutes same as over a Sprint tower. You can also (optionally) limit it to certain phones, regardless of whether they are on the plan or not. It can handle three simultaneousness calls/data-sessions IIRC.

you can add up to 10 phones on it and lock out all others.. but like the post above only 3 simultanious calls but don't be to generous or you'll get dropped or really crappy call quality...

dont forget these things have mad radiation..
