How to increase cellular network on mobile / iPhone with home Wi-Fi?
I'm in a location with really bad cellular network service, i will like to know if there's any way using the home Wi-Fi to increase my cellular network on my iPhone.
Some providers can provide a device that connects to your home's broadband service to give you better reception. On Sprint it's called an Airave; on Verizon it's called Verizon Network Extender; on AT&T it's called the 3G Microcell; on T-Mobile it's called T-Mobile Hot Spot @Home, which you connect to your home broadband and essentially turns it into a mini cell site. They may charge you, but if you plead your case to the company, they may give it to you for free, since service in your area is bad.
- Why doesn't my iPhone 3GS connect to the cellular data network? I just bought a refurbished iPhone 3GS from Gamestop a few weeks ago and have just started using it recently. I can make/ receive calls and texts with no problem, but for some reason my phone will not connect to the 3G network. I have 3G turned on and the symbol shows up in the top corner of my phone, as if it were working normally. I tried updating my phone, but there was no difference.
- When you have Wi-Fi and cellular data on at the same time, does it use cellular data? If I keep my cellular data on and also have my iPhone connected to Wi-Fi, will it use any of my cellular data?
- What is cellular network data? I just got an iPhone through Verizon and when I go into usage there's a thing that says cellular network data and it just keeps going up and up but I don't understand why. I don't use Internet outside of Wi-Fi ever. I don't even know what cellular network data is. Someone explain?
- IPhone 6 kicks me off cellular network constantly? My iPhone 6 is fully updated and I keep getting kicked off the cellular network. I will be in the middle of a call or looking something up (with full service) and will randomly get kicked off of the network. I tried resetting the phone to factory settings and rebooting but it still keeps happening… Has anyone had a similar problem? If so, how did you fix it?
