T-Mobile 3 Out of 5 Phone Model: motorola-various	Service is with Tracfone. According to Tracfone the service here in 87043 is GSM or CDMA; GSM through T-Mobile,CDMA through Alltel, Verizon, or US Cellular. Have never had trouble with calls, sometimes get "try later" message but a succession of multiple attempts never requires waiting too long.

Verizon 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: various over the years	16 Pinon Land / .75 Mi. N of Hwy. 165 Near Juniper, Placitas, NM 87043	Tue Aug 19, 2008
	Verizon provides good services in some parts of Placitas, but not at our particular address. Even in our house or on our lot it is variable from zilch to two bars with lots of drops. I don't know if other companies are significantly better. It is a difficult area with mostly uneven terrain.

AT&T 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: cheapo pay per minute	Hwy. 165 / Perdiz Rd., Placitas, NM 87043	Sat Aug 13, 2011
AT&T 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: cheapo pay per minute	AT&T stinks. This phone gets no reception until we get to a high hill before the S-curves heading towards I-25. I am saddened that the two companies that might provide service here, probably won't provide service here. It is hard to spend $50-$80 / month on cell phone services, when the phone won't even work where I live.
