No problems with Verizon anywhere in the city. Won't switch when the contract comes up. We've never had any of the problems with Verizon that we'd had with other companies we've tried.

I have had T-Mobile for 6 years. My wife and I have a family plan but the last couple of years have been terrible. We have to go outside our house to keep a signal. I often get dropped calls and we often do not get voice msgs or text msgs until days after people send them. That is unacceptable. Our contract is up in Sept and we are switching.

A definite dead spot on I-10 near the Sun Bowl, from Schuster exit to Executive Center exit. Mountain between I-10 and UTEP campus may be a factor.

Lots of bleedover from Mexico (MovieStar and Telcel) renders phone unable to be used at all

This service sucks can somebody tell me what company is the best in El Paso? its desperating to call customer service and loose half the day with a frustrated and ingnorant representative that knows nothing about coverage and is not willing to learn anything either so as to make a smart recomendation. Furthermore he only tells you that since you snoozed you loosed because you already accepted the contract conditions. By the way, the sound is apalling, echoes, interference, fading, etc... What can we do! Which carrier should I move to, please help knowledgable almighty audience! I can still turn the phone back since I have not had it for 20 days. Thank you

I have great reception in certain areas but there are huge holes where the reception goes bad and I have to walk around to an area to get better reception and the phone otherwise cuts in and out. I am seriously thinking of switching to another carrier

it sucks this service is like so last season

Almost no reception until south of I-40 and east of city

In the military, I've traveled all over the US and signal has been fine with AT&T until I got to El Paso. No signal at work and no signal at home. What is it good for?

I've been on every network except AT&T and Verizon has been the best by far. There are only 2 drop spots in el paso by UTEP and in the middle of transmountain. Otherwise I've had nothing but excellent customer service. The reception and data service with the blackberry is awesome. The evdo network for data service is by far the fastest and to tether the phone like a modem is just as fast for me as roadrunnner internet service. I used to be on Sprint and my father on Verizon and we rode our motorcycles all the way up to sturgis south Dakota. I had reception up until Denver on Sprint and my father had reception on Verizon all the way up and back to include in the forests of south Dakota and at mt. Rushmore. As far as call reception with the pearl its awesome and I don't recall having dropped any calls with Verizon except in the aforementioned 2 dead spots in el paso but I had that problem with Sprint and my wife had the same problem with cricket before we both went to verizon. I get service in the back roads of old mesilla on the motorcycle and even in the trees of stahmanns pecan ranch. I can't say enough about the data service and speed of the internet. The blackberry was built for emails and I get them at lightning speed even faster than I get them on the server at work. We recently got some demo phones for work from AT&T and the days transfer isn't anywhere near the speed of verizons evdo network. I love cell phones and I get a new one every couple of months and the blackberry by far has been the best in reception and data. I had a Motorola q a palm treo with Sprint and a lot of other older phones. I'm deaf practically and I need a phone I can really hear. The blackberry for me is loud enough and the volume isn't even on high. When the blackberry curve comes out I'm going to get it because my wife loves the pearl I use curently and she can't stand her complicated Motorola q. I guess I rushed too much to get her that one and now she can't stand it so hopefully I can win back favor in giving her the pearl once the curve comes out. I hope my review was a little helpful and not drawn out too long.

I'm always running full cpacity on my signal. No dropped calls, good quality, even data is connected strongly.

T-Mobile provides no reception in the Mountain Park Area

I recently attained a second phone from Nextel and noticed that the signal strength is excellent in this area. My first primary phone is a Sprint Toshiba 4050 and it it horrible on reception. I live in a dead zone in the Northeast. I cannot get more than two bars of signal in my house with any Sprint phone. I'm on my 13th phone! I've been with them since 2000. So it's not the phones just the service. I cannot hold a conversation more than 5 minutes because I loose reception at my house. But with Nextel all calls come in I have full service and Never miss a call. Even in the foot hills of the mountains in the Northeast I have full service with Nextel. I really and strongly advise anyone considering switching service or starting service to consider Nextel. They are expensive now but they are starting to drop in their prices. If you don't care about dropped missed, or lousy reception consider the other carriers. Nextel is awesome and the way to go. As soon as my contract with Sprint is over they are History!!

I've had AT&T for a little less than a year and I have had no major problems. There are very few spots where I have trouble using my phone but I rarely go to those areas so it isn't much of a problem. overall I would say AT&T is very good in El Paso and would recommend it for most people.

I've had AT&T for a couple of months now and I have to say that I am overall very pleased with the service. I came from Verizon after 3 years with them. Verizon was literally perfection. Their 3G speeds were good and everywhere I went, rural or major city, the coverage was unbeatable. My family and I frequently go camping. We go to very rural parts of New Mexico and we always had excellent Verizon coverage. I have not had the opportunity to travel to these places with AT&T but according to their coverage map, those places are under "partner" This shouldn't be a problem since we do not use our phones that much when we are in those areas in the first place. I, myself, do not use data very much. My aunt and uncle have iPhone 4's and are constantly using data. They are flight attendants and travel all over the U.S. everyday. From their experiences, AT&T has been equal to Verizon. Occasionally they travel to areas where 3G is not available and must rely on EDGE. For the most part they remain in areas covered by 3G and say that it is slightly faster than Verizon. At their home which is known to be a huge dead zone for ALL carriers, they receive 1-2 bars. They claim to have no difficulties in making calls and say that the 3G speeds are fine. At my home I receive 3-4 bars. Calls sound fine and when I use the data it is speedy. I do, however, have one area where I have trouble with my service. I go to Cathedral High School. This school is in a very old building (88 years old) where the walls are 3 feet thick. On the second floor, my AT&T phone has 0-1 bar and very frequently will switch to Movistar or TELCEL (Mexican service providers) I have borrowed students phones and they seem to have similar signals, except Verizon. T-Mobile has 1-2 bars, Sprint has 0 bars, and Verizon has 5 bars. In conclusion, AT&T has been very good. We are paying $200 less for similar service that Verizon provides. Anyone looking into switching to AT&T in El Paso, TX should go with either Verizon or at&t. Of course, depending where you live is a major factor in El Paso. Anyone living near the mountain WILL have problems with their service. All carriers do not cover the area near the mountains very well and you will absolutely have problems with your phone. The only company that may not have as many problems will be Verizon. If you live anywhere else in El Paso you are covered pretty well.

I recently switched to AT&T after being with Verizon for 4 years. In El Paso, both AT&T and Verizon's network is quite good. For the most part, Verizon gets a full signal (outdoors, as well as many places indoors) Of course with every carrier there is a few spots where the service isn't so great, but hey, you can't always win. At my home, Verizon receives an average of 4-5 bars and always clear calls. With AT&T I receive 3-4 bars and calls are clear as well. In addition to Verizon and AT&T my brother has T-Mobile and my mom has Sprint. So I have a pretty much can test every major carrier. At my house, Sprint has 1-3 bars with adequate sound quality and T-Mobile always has 5 but I have noticed that at time sound quality is very bad. Now I have experience my AT&T phone switching over to Mexican service (Movistar, TELCEL) This mostly happens at my school which is very close to the Mexican border. Oddly, this has happened to my Verizon phone as well. I have not yet traveled enough to give my opinion on AT&T, but from what I can see if El Paso, AT&T is just as good as Verizon. I have had no dropped calls, no "No Service" areas. There have been areas of low signal but that has not affected call quality or reliability. In conclusion I give AT&T a 4.5 and I give Verizon a 4.5

Verizon is the best provider in El Paso FOR SURE. the only place that it doesn't do to well in is far into Soccoro area but it doesn't go below 2 bars but does not affect call quality

I go to Cathedral High School and have Verizon. In the School, which is an old school which means extremely thick walls, there is a gym that is partially underground, my phone can receive 5 bars yet a Sprint phone gets 1- no service, T-Mobile gets no service, Alltel 2-3, and Cingular no service, cricket no service. I laugh as I see teachers and students walking around trying to get a signal while I talk away on mine with no worries of a droped call.

excellent. Verizon is perfect here. it is a VERY BIG DEAD spot for cell phones. Sprint- 0 bars, t-mobile- 1-2 bars, alltel, 1 bar, Cingular ( AT&T) 2-3 bar, Verizon- 5 BARS! but its weird I used to have the same exact phone and my aunt had 5 bars but mine would mostly show 4 but since I got the razr it always shows 4 bars which is the maximum. love Verizon

got Verizon directly now and still have full signal in all of el paso even in the middle of nowhere it will range from 3-4 ( 4 is the maximum bars on the razr)
