[Hidden-tech] AT&T Signal Booster; phone porting recommendations

[Stacy Kontrabecki]

It's official: our family is taking an online media hiatus - at least 
for the summer. Just canceled Comcast Internet & TV service. I have 
until end of Saturday before I'm turned off.

1.) What AT&T Signal Booster should I get so we can use our cell service 
in the house? It's a 2 story, 1,500 square feet. We've been using an 
AT&T MicroCell successfully, so I'm thinking a basic SignalBooster 
should do it.

2.) Anything I should take care of before then?

  Upload pictures - check. Change any accounts with comcast.net email - 
none, check. Hmmm???


3.) And also, I have 2 Vonage phone numbers. I'll likely just forward 
them to my cell, but ideally I'd like to port them over to a service 
that does an automatic forward, and that costs less that $20 a month - 
what I pay Vonage for each. I've looked this up before and found nothing 
better than Vonage. I found a $5/month park, but that is only an 
outgoing voice message, not a forward. I rather thought Google Voice 
required a port from a cell number, and I don't tI hink want to pay to 
transfer the numbers to cell, then to GV. But maybe it is cost effective 
in the end?


PS - We are on 112 in Buckland and Comcast or HughesNet are our only 
internet options.
