No internet! Will MicroCell still work?

I spend part of the year in an area were there is no AT&T service. And I do not have internet there. Will a MicroCell still work to give me service?

No. The microcell is a mini cell tower and every cell tower has to have a way to connect to the ATT network. The microcell uses the internet to connect to the ATT network, so without it, no service.

@gokkmm - without internet service, as @sandblaster mentioned, you can not use a MicroCell, or WiFi-C (WiFi Calling) either.  In your case, the only other option is a cellular booster from someone like CelFi or Wilson. They can be a bit price and require a bit more to setup, but if you can get at least 1 bar of cellular signal, a cellular booster may work.
