Looking to buy a femtocell? We've listed the known network operators who actively sell these, together with links to their websites where you can read about their offers.

This list is continually being updated, so if there isn't a femtocell from your current network operator today, bookmark this page to visit again soon.

This list is mainly residential femtocells. Some network operators offer femtocells to their business customers and don't list these on their websites. Many others are running trials or are in the early stages of commercial rollout. Prices quoted are list - there may be cashback or heavy discounts for higher spending customers and/or where wireline broadband service is also supplied. In some cases, the product is supplied free!
