Great signal usually 5 bars. Internet could be faster tho.

Great signal where I work, usually 5 bars and almost no dropped calls.

Great Service. I don't believe I've ever had a dropped a call in the 3 years I've had T-Mobile. I've even had service in several places where Verizon customers didn't. Examples of this are Mora, NM and Village Pizza in Corrales.

I have had Alltel for 10 years (had Sprint for two during this time as well). I love Alltel, I get 4-5 bars here at home, and have even got service where my boyfriends Verizon cell phone did not (out in the middle of no where near Los Alamos and Santa Fe). I get coverage all the way to Santa Fe (on I-25), and all the way to Clovis, NM (I-40, 60 / 84). My Alltel phone also works perfectly well in Clovis. Once in a while Ill have something crazy happen (takes a long time to send or receive a text, etc.) but Alltel is worth the price! Too bad Verizon bought them out, now I am searching for a new cell phone provider.

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 travel across US with my Sprint Phone, I did not have any problem at all during my visit to NM, great reception... no dropped calls... love my Sprint Phone... .

The service is great in the foothills. We started with Alltel when we lived in Gallup and have found that the reception across the state is equal to Verizon and surpasses all the others. If you are going to buy phones, you get a big price break by purchasing on-line as opposed to buying from the nearby stores, on Paseo del Norte or even at ABQ Uptown.

I have been really happy with Alltel they arent perfict but they are better then any other carier iv had before, in Pena Blanca Alltel and Cingular are the only cariers that have towers out there not even my freinds Verizon phone worked out there.

I have been with Alltel under various names since 1991. Most of the people I work with are with Verizon, between Albquerque and Taos, Alltel has constantly given me good coverage. In agreement with another review though, Wyoming and Osuna is a dead spot and will drop any call in progress. Must be the Police sub-station I have guessed.

Tried them all over the past 8 years... Verizon, Tmobile, Alltel, Sprint, Cricket, and now Cingular... I do business all over Albuquerque and Cingular is by far the best!
