Frequently Asked Questions
I completed my MicroCell online
activation at the AT&T store. Do I have
to do it again?
No, you can skip Step 3 and proceed to
Step 4 of the setup process.
What’s the best location for the
MicroCell?
Your MicroCell works best within three
feet of a window and not in a basement
or closet. You will improve the chances
of receiving a GPS signal when you install
your MicroCell:
• On first floor or above basement level.
• Next to a window with a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky.
• At least one foot away from other
wireless broadcasting devices.
• When the weather is clear (no clouds
or rain).
Will all cell phones work with my MicroCell?
All 3G, 4G and 4G LTE cell phones that
receive wireless service from AT&T will
work with the MicroCell if they are added
online to the MicroCell’s approved user list.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When adding a
wireless number to your approved user
list, that handset will need to be restarted
(turned off and back on again) when in
range of your MicroCell. This is a one-time
occurrence and only needs to be done the
first time you add the wireless number to
your approved user list.
Do I need to change any settings on
my AT&T cell phone to make it work
with my MicroCell?
No, you don’t have to change anything on
your phone. If your AT&T cell phone
number
is on your approved user list, it
should work.
What is an approved user list?
The approved user list contains the phone
numbers of friends, family and associates
that you allow to use your MicroCell while
they are at your home or office. You can
only add people to this list who have an
AT&T wireless service plan. When they
make phone calls, they will use their own
minutes and service plan. To add an AT&T
3G, 4G or 4G LTE wireless cell phone
number to your approved user list, go to
att.com/3GMicroCell and manage your
settings.
What type of Internet service does the
MicroCell need?
The MicroCell uses high-speed Internet
service such as AT&T U-verse, DSL, or
cable. For best performance, your service
should have download speeds of at least
1.5 Mbps and upload speeds of at least 256
Kbps. You can use any high-speed Internet
service provider. Satellite or wireless
internet service is not supported. Contact
your Internet Service Provider if your
Internet service is slower than minimum
requirements.

Why did my MicroCell lights go
off during activation?
Your MicroCell automatically checks
for software updates each time you
turn it on. If necessary, the MicroCell
downloads updated software and then
restarts.
Will my MicroCell slow down my network?
The MicroCell takes up very little of your
bandwidth. Downloading music, videos, or
other large files may impact the bandwidth
available for your MicroCell and affect
voice quality.
Should I use my MicroCell for data
instead of Wi-Fi?
The MicroCell supports data usage.
However, it is not intended to be a
replacement for your wireless network
(Wi-Fi). Data over Wi-Fi doesn’t affect
your wireless plan and provides best
performance for Wi-Fi capable cell phones
and other devices. The MicroCell is a
great supplement for data on cell phones
that aren’t Wi-Fi capable.
How do I move my MicroCell to a new
location?
Use the Quick Start for setup instructions
and then update your account online
with the new address by visiting
att.com/3GMicroCell and manage your
settings.
NOTE: The new location must be in an area
where AT&T is licensed to provide service.
How do I purchase the Unlimited
MicroCell Calling feature?
Go to www.att.com/mywireless. Log
in to your online wireless account, click
the “I want to...” dropdown, hover the
mouse over “Manage my plan & services”,
and click “Add or change a service”.
Scroll down and select “AT&T Unlimited
MicroCell Calling.”
Is there a 3G MicroCell Mobile App?
Yes, you can download the free 3G
MicroCell iPhone App at the Apple App
Store. The app allows you to activate and
manage your MicroCell settings, including
adding a new approved user, changing your
location, and updating your email address.
I have more questions.

STEP 5
Confirm your success
Your device is configured and working
properly when:
• You receive a text message and an email confirmation.
• The 3G light on your MicroCell is solid and green.
• Your cell phone shows “AT&T MicroCell” or “AT&T M-Cell”
instead of “AT&T” as the network provider (as shown below).
Cell phones may take some time to
switch to the MicroCell
Your cell phone may not immediately
switch to your MicroCell when you enter
its coverage area. Depending on the
signal strength of the AT&T cell tower, the
time for your cell phone to switch to the
MicroCell can vary. It may take seconds or
up to five minutes.
Connecting to the MicroCell doesn’t
always mean unlimited calling
You can purchase AT&T Unlimited
MicroCell Calling for an individual phone
number, your whole account or use your
existing wireless plan minutes. Other
3G, 4G or 4G LTE cell phone owners on
your approved user list also use their
existing wireless plan minutes unless they
purchase the Unlimited MicroCell
Calling feature.
Calls transfer out, but don’t transfer in
Calls transfer from the MicroCell to
the strongest available AT&T cell tower
signal. However, calls initiated on the cell
tower do not transfer to the MicroCell.
NOTE: With the optional Unlimited
MicroCell Calling feature, calls that
originate on the MicroCell and transfer to
a nearby AT&T cell tower continue on as
unlimited.
Restarting fixes most problems
Like many electronic devices, the
MicroCell and your 3G, 4G or 4G LTE
cell phone may occasionally need to be
rebooted (turned off and back on again)
to reestablish their connection to each
other.
Things to Know
