The brief writeup says that any gsm phone will recognize an OpenBTS "tower", does this mean that I could improve at&t reception at my house (for use with my iPhone)?
- biafra 16y agoIf you happen to have your BTS talk to the AT&T infrastructure: Yes
- notauser 16y agoShort answer: No. Long answer: No but you wouldn't want it to anyway. Very long answer: You can essentially turn your mobile phone into a cordless phone plugged into your own home phone system (via Asterisk). Caller ID spoofing (or the co-operation of AT&T - no chance) is required to make that invisible to the outside world. This means you pay land-line rates when at home rather than AT&T rates. Useful answer: If you want better signal at home buy a re-radiating antenna like this one (this is not a brand I have used, just a demonstration of the kind of thing you need): http://www.alternativewireless.com/cellular-antennas/wilson-antennas/wilson_cellular_amplifiers/wilson-soho-dualband-cellular-amplifier-repeater.html http://www.alternativewireless.com/cellular-antennas/wilson-...
