As a possible alternative, I understand that AT&T is kicking off a new
device/service, called 'femtocell' that might fit the need. Basically,
it's a device that acts as a tiny cell base station in your home.

Verizon and T-Mobile already have analogous offerings.

The t-mob version is basically a wifi access point (you have to have a
compatible handset), and the Verizon one is more like what you
describe. ATT should get with the times. :)



Why would anyone want one if they have good reception? Is it somehow cheaper than using up mobile phone minutes?
