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.
I've had a Vodafone SureSignal for a few years which does exactly that. 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!
