The theory is that your wireless access point would boost the AT&T signal. The functionality should be dependent upon the mere presence of the wireless internet, not the speed of it, since it is only being used to boost the actual AT&T signal. As previously stated, though, this is theoretical. I would contact AT&T again and inquire again. The Technical Support people are probably a much better option than the Sales Representatives. We'll also tweet your question, to see if someone else has some insight into the issue. Unfortunately, the only people who can really answer the question are the same ones who told you they couldn’t.

Would a 3G microcell even work with this? I am 45 miles outside of Austin and it's like I am in the middle of no where. I get one bar at best on my cell phone and dish is the only internet service available besides dial up. AT&T could not answer my question.

There is no cell reception at my home so we make calls over broadband via a wireless router. Calls made over wi-fi are totally free except for international. I do not have to be home for free calling, the phone will make use of any open hotspot. We never go over our minutes.$79 per month for 300 minutes and 2 phones is pretty spiffy.
