It would be nice if the office where I work would allow using a microcell for my cell provider or allow easier access to their wifi.  The office is in an area where I don't get good cell phone reception, and it's worse inside the building.  My main concern is if someone tries to contact me in an emergency and perhaps I don't get their call/text due to lack of signal.  The company I work at (understandably) has an IT policy where only approved devices can use their wi-fi though.  I'm not sure I want to set up my personal phone with the company, and trying to set up a microcell with their wi-fi or network would probably require IT approval.  There also aren't any ethernet ports near my desk at work, which is a bit frustrating (and is another issue in itself)..  For the past few months, the wifi at the office I work at has been unreliable sometimes, and my laptop often loses its wifi connection.
