I'm on the Sprint Network. They offer a "extender" called Airwave but for whatever reason it's not offered in Lynchburg. Would I be able to use this from VZ? Both CDMA, cant think of any other reasons not to...



The Network Extender Keeps You Connected
You need to keep connected indoors and out. This state−of−the−art device is equipped with a host of features that will keep you on the line, connected and secure.

Bring Our Network Home

* The Network Extender enables you to make calls from indoor locations where outdoor cellular coverage does not reach. The Network Extender works like a miniature cell phone tower in your home providing enhanced coverage for up to a 5,000 square foot area

Use Your Verizon Wireless Phone

* There is no need for a new phone. The Network Extender is compatible with ALL Verizon Wireless phones as well as some handsets from many of the nation's leading carriers.

Simple Setup and Management

* Easy to install. Plug into your high−speed Internet connection and place near a window. Sign in to My Verizon to create your optional managed access list.

Network Extender Features

* With the Network Extender, you can begin a call on the Network Extender network and enjoy uninterrupted transition to the nearest cell tower when leaving the Network Extender coverage area, provided alternative coverage is available.

Online Management in My Verizon

* Network Extender access can be set to fit your needs. Just sign in to My Verizon to set the Network Extender preferences that are right for you. Your device is set to Open Access by default, allowing three devices to connect to the Network Extender without restrictions. Designate Verizon Wireless callers to receive priority access to the Network Extender network. By setting your network up in My Verizon for managed access you can designate as many as 50 Verizon Wireless numbers. Where a compatible cell tower is unavailable, other callers may access the Network Extender when not in use by priority callers. All callers may access the Network Extender for emergency (E911) calls, even if the mobile number is not on the managed access list.

So you're want to subsidize sprint's lack of coverage in your area through your own pocket using your personal bandwidth?

I'm sure you are just taking a swipe at Sprint (or HMO), but the reason that coverage does not extend into a building is not just the provider's coverage. I have a 30,000 ft2 building that has great coverage outside the building in each direction with the providers in our area, but when you are more than 10 feet from the wall in the interior, you can not get a signal.

I have tried every cell service known to man and nobody gets a signal in my house. It's just in one of those dead spots. I have the ZDboost or whatever its called and that gives me full bars...but you have to be right next to it for it to actually work.
