I'm in roaming here! And Sprint charges for roaming. Coverage in general has been good with Sprint for past 5 years. Considering changing companies because on a recent trip to southeastern oklahoma and arkansas I was always in roaming. Friends with alltell had coverage.

My phone will ring inside clinic, no service inside choppy. Walk outside east- NO reception at all. Walk outside west reception poor but available.

Constantly losing calls. Reception is AWFUL at my home and to think I got rid of the land line to "save money." Should have kept it to "save sanity." Service contract expires in less than one month and I am counting the days! I have no idea which company to switch to as I have only been in NM for 2 years and those 2 years have been with lousy Alltell.

Constant dropped calls, difficult connections, poor service, too many excuses and talk from representatives, no good in general. Acceptable in other areas, but it is expensive to have a "service" that only works sometimes and charges all the time.

About a year ago I had great reception with Alltel. I had good reception everywhere I went, including my apartment. Over the past year my reception has gotten very poor in the Old Town area where I live and. Rural areas where I frequently travel now have no service at all, but previously provided good service. I hate being contractually tied to a phone service that is no longer functioning as it was when I signed the contract.

I usually receive calls but while I am talking, reception is constantly fading in and out. I am always having to ask people to repeat themselves. The grocery store near my house (Smiths, Tramway and Mont) usually has absolutely no reception. Customer service has been extremely poor -- I'd give it 0 out of 5.

I can't even sit in my living room and talk, I have to go sit on a chair near a window or go out in the back yard. I had better reception with my 3 year old Motorola phone in the house. Looks like the closet tower is at Coors and Rio Bravo area, 3 - 4 miles away.

We have had Verizon for 6 years and we have not ever had an Albuquerque reception problem. We have traveled to many different parts of rural New Mexico and have had good coverage. There were places that were dead spots, but you would expect them to be dead (middle of a canyon, next to mountain, etc.). I think the reception problems people have may sometimes be due to their cell phones rather than their location. From my readings about coverage, it seems Verizon is #1 hands down, then T-Mobile is #2, and AT&T is #3. Disclaimer: We have family that come and visit with their AT&T phones and T-Mobile phones, and they have not had a problem when being here.

I get two bars, and for most of the time the signal is Ok. But, on an average, I get 5-10% calls dropped. Very frustrating, if you've been on hold for 15 min, and jsut got to talk to a rep, and that's when the call gets dropped :( Decent reception and no dropped calls everywhere else in ABQ though. So, must be my area in Ventana Ranch that drops the calls :(
