The entrance to Eldorado is one of the biggest cell holes in the nation for a commercial area. No cell reception anywhere around the commercial areas. I have been with Alltel since the beginning (98?). Overall pretty good except right where I live and up on Rowe Mesa where there are mysterious hot spots in the middle of nowhere where we get perfectly good reception. There is also an abundance of dropped calls. The LG 3200 is at least two bars below my previous Motorola V60. I regret everyday that I gave up that phone. In anything close to a marginal signal area, the LG just doesn't pull anything in.

I have been with Alltel for more then 2 years now and I have had great coverage in pecos, las vegas, santa fe, albuquerque etc. I havent really had any trouble with then, but I have noticed that pre paid service does not work very well so I stick to the monthly pay plan. DO NOT GET THE PRE PAID PLAN, it suck on coverage wise

I got a phone with alltell two months ago and have been unable to make any calls in Santa fe or Albuquerque. The phone always indicates "Roaming" and I now know (after speaking to several CS reps) that when it's on Roaming, I can't make calls (except by charging it to a credit card, using a collect call service or by obtaining a special PIN). I use a pre-paid plan so don't know if it's different for those taht pay monthly but I am so angry with this provider. They knew where I was going to be using my phone and no one told me I wouldn't be able to make calls -- I'm working on getting a refund from them.

picks up good all around town. Alltel has 3 Towers in the santa fe area wile Verizon only has 1 locatel on the north end of santa fe. Alltel also has 1 at the north end of town but Alltel also has 1 downtown by the santa fe newmexican, The there biggest tower in at airport Rd and Cerillos Rd accross From the mall.

i have been to santa fe and in most places I get 4 to 5 bars I live 8 miles north of rowe. Alltel is one of the only cell providers that pick up in mora because I used to have Verizon and along the high ways it would cut off a lot and in mora it would not work at all. with Alltel it works in raton 4 to 5 bars and in alburqurque I get full service. I also get service in penia blanca and cochiti, las vegas, nm, espanola, taos, pecos, rowe,illfield, and more and in all of those I rarly get one bar

I started service with AT&T over 2 years ago and was sold with the intent that more towers were to come in certain areas of my usage and to date I am actually losing my service because I'm given a notice of "off network" where I live. I was informed by AT&T that my contract was to be canceled if I don't comply to the message--I'm not supposed to use my phone when I see the "off network" or else it "costs lots of money" to AT&T due to usage of other providers' towers in the area. Therefore, I caution whomever has this service in this area that AT&T will be canceling service due to the "high cost" to them. Reception at most times is poor to no reception at all in El Rancho area and not sure which cell service has best reception but I am looking for a better provider with the best reception at this time. Wish me luck!

The reception was so bad that my out of state girlfriend accused me of running off with some other girl.

When I turn on the phone it sometimes shows two bars and the letter E. Often when I try to dial or text, the bars and E vanish to be replaced by "No Service". I can run around outside, reset the device, but it's all in vain. Then suddenly, full bars and my voice mails from the previous twenty-four hours will appear. Then a "No Service" message again, and I can't return calls. I know I need to drop this company, but I keep dreaming that one day they'll actually deliver what they've contracted with me to deliver. If they can't get towers in, how can they sell me service they KNOW they can't provide? I'm a fool, and they're cheat filled millionaires.

AT&T service in the city of Santa Fe is scandalous with reception at my home non-existent and very spotty and inconsistent downtown. Their lying advertising should be banned in Santa Fe.

I live on Vallecita dr. in Santa Fe. Absolutely no bars or coverage within my house. I need to go outside of my house to get any coverage. A very expensive service and equipment not to have service where I spend the most time. The only reason I keep it is because I love the I-Phone and can get coverage everywhere in the country except in my home here in Santa Fe. I have called At&T several times, they have no solution eventhough they say there are two towers in my vicinity. Very frustrating. I is very difficult for me to believe that there isn't something AT&T could provide to boost my ability to use my phone. It is my understanding thru various sources that they are not anxious to do this because it might cut into their land land business. I am on a two year contract and can only hope that Apple switches or opens up their carrier choices when their contract with AT&T expires.
