I believe it was 3 that were looking in to using your home Internet / WiFi network to transmit the GSM signal required for calls and texts in the absence of a cell signal. Obviously 3G and 4G tech is irrelevant as they are primarily data handling networks and if you are connected to WiFi then you are fine. It's a fairly good stop-gap measure for residents who only have issues at their home / office or other fixed locations.

Only it doesn't. It's crap. It may be OK if there really is no other signal, but I've now turned it off and get much better reception on a very weak 'proper' signal!
No - this is a box that is a femto cell (low power base station) the connects to the Vodafone etc. network over the internet. Nowt to do with WiFi. Great idea if it worked properly.
Nope, no wifi, just plugs into the router.
