Cell antenna for house? And little update

[rgG]

We do not get good cell reception in our house, so we got T-Mobile's Hot Spot @ Home that lets a T-Mobile W-Fi enabled phone make calls over Wi-Fi. Another benefit is that all the Wi-Fi calls are free, so they don't count against your monthly minute allotment. When we signed up, it cost $10 a month in addition to whatever plan you had. I am not sure what the cost is now for new customers.

You can use any open Wi-Fi network, not just your home network, so you can make free calls anywhere you can get a Wi-Fi signal.
