AT&T MicroCell 3G
Posted on 21. Sep, 2009 by zevmo.
If you haven’t heard, AT&T wants to do you a solid. Use your home network, that you already pay for, and then charge you $20/mo to give you service you should already be getting for your home. What a deal! In fact, it is so fantastic that the only gimick that might incentivise you is [...]
