Note: 2G and non-AT&T devices are not compatible with AT&T MicroCell. You can also add an approved user by logging in at www.att.com/microcell using your myAT&T account information.
Select the Plus icon to send a message to a new recipient.
Enter the short code 6235 (MCEL) as the recipient of the text message.
In the message field, enter "ADD" followed by the 10-digit number to add to the Approved User List. (Example: ADD 5555555555)
When successfully connected to the device, it will show “AT&T MicroCell” or “AT&T M-Cell”.
If you do not see “AT&T MicroCell” or “AT&T M-Cell”, turn your mobile device (not MicroCell) off, wait 10 seconds and then turn it back on
Note: Depending on the signal strength of the AT&T cell tower, the time for your mobile device to switch to the MicroCell can vary. It may take seconds or up to five minutes.
