I recently moved here. I have had Verizon service for years. Mostly it has been good. We had some service when I first got here then everything quit. I went to a local Verizon store to complain. There answer was to press *228 to reprogram my phone. That did nothing. I called 611 and complained again and they finally said they would check into the problem. They said they would get back to me and gave me a reference number. They did not get back to me I had to call them. When I did they finally admitted there was a known problem in this area. Verizon has been working on it for some time now. I was paying $ 87.00 per month for no service. They finally let me out of my contract so I could get a service that works. The strange part is we are probably only 200 yards from a cell phone tower.

Not even digital roam available with Sprint!

If I turn slowly from a North facing direction to a South facing direction I may get one bar. But only if I'm standing on one leg and praying profusely to God! In other words it sucks big time! I've conferred with Verizon Wireless several times on this issue. Their reply is some time in the far distance future will their recently purchased Alltel tower be realigned, but even then there is no guarantee I will receive better reception. My only resolution to this issue is to purchase an expensive cellular signal booster with antenna!

no reception after 8 mile marker on 165 in placitas

today is march 27. and there is no signal here in tierra amarilla or in chama where the cell towers are. by when will there be cell service again

NO phone company what so ever has any tower or or around Penasco. NONE

Just moved here from Kentucky, where the reception was terrible at our house. After two months of going round and round with them about how bad our reception was, their response went from "our maps show you have excellent coverage!" to "we're working on it" to "we have no intention of doing anything". Eventually they offered to let us out of our two-year contract. Coming to Santa Fe, I was hoping for better. No such luck. Everybody I've talked to who lives here says it's common knowledge that AT&T sucks. I did talk with somebody at AT&T who said I would have to go outside the house to get a signal. I suppose that works when the weather is warm. All the other descriptions I've read here are what we're living now. We rarely get a signal, and if we do, a phone call of more than five minutes without getting cut off is rare. Strangely if I walk a block to the corner of Bishop's Lodge and Paseo de Peralta, I get five bars. In fairness to AT&T though, there are height restrictions in Santa Fe that exclude the 200' towers I'm used to seeing everywhere else. There aren't even any water towers or church steeples I've noticed that they could use. There's supposed to be a big meeting in a few weeks to discuss towers. Maybe some of the creative people here can come up with an idea that is both aesthetic and practical.

No reception through the Hondo Valley between Ruidoso and Roswell

Loses all reception briefly.

My reception varies from no reception to strong reception as I move around Los Alamos. The worst part is the fact that I get no reception at home.
