If you've got a lot of trees, don't count on getting much range 
from cell phones. I live in a redwood forest, and NO cell phones 
work up here. Loss in trees increases with frequency. Heck -- I 
can't even do much at 440 MHz, let alone 900 MHz where cell phones 
live! If you've got a clear path you might do well.
