I'd love to, but I can't find an open source phone that does WiFi calling. And with no cell service at my house, it's a necessity. I can't find femtocells anymore, especially ones that work with my MVNO. I even bought a PinePhone, but it's just sitting in a drawer because I can't use anything but Android or iOS hardware.
- BenjiWiebe 5y agoWouldn't a femtocell for your "actual carrier" work with your MVNO? Like for me, I'm on Red Pocket Mobile using Verizon service. Would a Verizon femtocell block Red Pocket subscribers? Verizon signal boosters work fine with my phone. As far as I can tell, anywhere/anyhow a Verizon phone has service, my phone will have service too.
- olyjohn 5y agoHmm... I might have to look into this more. But back in the day when I had an AT&T femtocell, it was still tied into my account, and I had to 'allow' phones to connect to it. And it looks kinda like the T-mobile CellSpot also has to tie to your account so that you can set up e911 addresses. But it does say that anybody within range can jump on it, so MVNO might work on it. Maybe the way around this is a cheap pre-paid t-mo hotspot plan or something just to get it set up. Thanks for the suggestion. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/4g-lte-cellspot-setup-and-help#address https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/4g-lte-cellspot-se...
