Although my reception is perfect outside, I can never complete a

Reception always drops right around that spot and does not return until you're about a half mile heading south). It also drops north of the country club as you turn from Ridgewood Ave onto Watchung Ave heading east towards the GSP for about a block and a half. Very consistent with this.

One to two bars outside. And within my house, one bar by the window. Glad to see it's not just me.

I looked at the Cell Tower grid and it now makes perfect sense as to why we receive poor call reception in the Watchung Plaza area. There aren't any cell towers within this area of Montclair. With all of the hills, there isn't a clear line of sight to the ones a mile away. We need another cell tower centrally located in Montclair above Bloomfield Ave.

Reception dies yet my phone stays active, killing minutes, but Cingular feels its not a dropped call. I have to turn the phone off to kill the open line.

Winter is better, no leaves as T-Mobile said. I have signal, 2 bars in the house. Cingular let me out of my contract because I had no signal! My signal flops like a fish!

I am amazed by the poor reception quality - do not know what works best for Montclair

Suddenly this week I can make calls from my house ! We'll see what happens when the leaves grow back on the trees. Meanwhile, I've got full coverage on my Cingular / AT&T Wireless GSM phone. Was pretty spotty there for years, but least 2 years, coverage has been very good.

Routine dropped calls heading west on Harrisom approaching the West Orange border. Then its back to 5 bars of service. Also I can't us the phone much within my house. (Montclair south.)

I can't get any reception in my apt. Have to walk outside to the sidewalk. My Nextel was no problem. T-Mobile is really bad. Since I only use a cell phone, this is not good.
