i live in an un-reliable cell phone area. i had a friend who has a srrint compass 597 sierra wireless unit come to check out if it would work here. he take it into the frount yard and got 20% strength. if the usb unit could be located in the attic and a long usb cable run to my computer would it work.also do you know of any other unit that might work better.i used to have a nextel phone that got a very strong signal here. at&t works sometimes but i have not had good luck with any other cell carrier
