AT&T Microcell is driving me nuts!! Its up... no its down. It's up again!
One of the most frequently occurring things is someone calling me, and getting voicemail. (Thank you AT&T! No really, you screen my phone calls for me. I have an iPhone but really wanted an iTouch with GPS capabilities).
It seems to go down at random times during the day, but more so after 10 PM PST. There is simply no warning or schedule to it - it simply goes down and then comes back up when it decides to. Resetting it / rebooting it seems to have no effect what-so-ever on it.
Right now its up! Yay!
I should mention that the Microcell was purchased used - hey! maybe that's why the jerk sold it to me. j/k. I'm sure all craigslist sellers have the best of intentions but end up looking shady anyway.
Lately I've been getting "thank you for activating your MicroCell 3G" emails from AT&T. What's that about? Maybe it's AT&T's fault? (Wait wasn't it always AT&T's fault?)
I'm sooo ready to adopt Verizon and Apples upcoming iPhone baby. Too bad I'm still stuck in contract with AT&T for 2 years...
So that's my experience with the MicroCell so far. I try to be the glass is half full type of guy, so I like to think of it as a bonus when I DO get reception and 50 angry text messages / voicemails at a time...
I am happy to report that generally for the past two months, the MicroCell has been working as intended without issue.
Well, except when too much bandwidth is being used and TimeWarner throttles my internet connection because I'm uploading so many YouTube videos and photos... But that's TimeWarner's fault. May be time to switch to Verizon FIOS.
