Verizon poor. T-Mobile phone I have is somewhat better. I was disappointed with Verizon service when I asked them to investigate dropped calls.

Cingular reception is very, very poor in most of Albuquerque. When I moved to Albuquerque I was lodged in a hotel for 5 weeks during which time I signed up with Cingular. The reception in the hotel area was OK during my 30 days trial period. After I moved to an apartment I found the phone useless. No bar at all. No reception from home. Cingular refused to allow me to break the 2 yeasr contract, saying I should pay a $300 penalty. A contract is a 2 way deal. I pay Cingular for the services I receive. While I receive NO services, they still insist I should pay my bills for 2 years or pay $300. This is OUTRAGEOUS and a scam / rip off by Cingular. I wrote to their CEO about this, and I advise all Ciongular ripped-off customers to do the same. Lets see if that helps !

Very rarely can a call be established if you are east of Tramway Blvd. Would not recommend T-Mobile for anyone that lives in this area!!

Louisiana / Menaul, Albuquerque, NM 87110 Mon Jun 06, 2005

Lots of missed / dropped calls, especially anywhere inside a building. I rarely get more than three bars anywhere in NE Albuquerque, and often less. Sprint coverage is basically non-existent outside Albuquerque except right on the interstates. Roaming coverage works ok but is heinously expensive. I am looking for a new provider.

All Over Albuquerque, Albuquerque, NM 87102 Wed Jun 01, 2005

My wife and I recently purchased two (brand new) Samsung E 315's and we both had horrible reception. We have been with T-Mobile for 6 years and have never had a problem with any other phones (Nokia, Samsung, Motorolla). The Samsung E 315 constantly drops calls, and it's almost impossible to have a conversation without repeating oneself. This was supposed to be a phone "upgrade"... so far, it has been one big headache. The people at T-Mobile are completely unwilling to solve this problem. Their only attempt to remedy this situation is to sell us a more expensive phone.

I drive all over Albuquerque all day and never drop calls. I do drop calls on I25 between Isleta and Las lunas at the same point almost all the time. I travel state wide and Verizon has been the best for me in NM.

Guaranteed poor to no receiption in this area, and has been so for the past 15 months of my contract (i.e. ball and chain). My Contract Agreement with SprintPCS was recently changed / extended with out my consent and I have been unable to find the department that can revert it back to the original date. Via phone, I have spoken to Customer Service, Trouble Specialist, Retention, Cancellation Departments. And in person, a manager at a local Sprint Store and no one had authorization to make this change. I have since been informed via email that while SprintPCS has placed notes to my account in an attempt to show their error, "that due to system restrictions, the previous agreement cannot be reinstated on the account." Beware!

Unser To Coors / I-40 / Petroglyph Ntnl Monument, Albuquerque, NM 87120 Mon Apr 11, 2005

I can't use this phone west of Coors to save my life. Every call over 30 seconds gets dropped. I am looking for service that will work on the west side as this is very frustrating for me, I also have a T-Mobile sidekick and it's having issues as well. The sidekick server has not provided continuous service since early March 2005 (a month now of getting messages 1-4 days after they are sent). There is a spot on Coors between I-40 and Montano that kills calls also, it does it ever time. Grrr.
