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!

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.
I got no reception in most of Santa Fe. Tried to cancel service and was treated very rudely. Charged several hundred dollars to cancel. Sprint is a horrible company.
