Was at Angel Fire, NM over the the days of March 1st to the 4th. Have always had reception till this time. Called tech support there was no help there. Said there must not be a tower to hit but other people talking on their phones. I would say there was a tower! Have Total Freeedom Plans for area that is to be covered but no coverage. Bet they dont reduce the bill!

I have a Cingular To-Go Phone that was completely useless during a recent visit to Hobbs and surrounding towns. I now know that Cingular has no service in nearly all of NM and much of nearby TX. I always thought I was buying service anywhere and would just pay roaming fees. This is the last time I bother with Cingular. From past comments it looks like only Alltel cares enough to provide cell phone service to NM and surrounding areas. Alltel can count on a new customer soon when I move to NM.

Absolutely no reception and no towers near-by on any carrier that I know of.

had coverage at angel fire until recent. phones read no network coverage. no one at Alltel knows why this is happening. multiple service orders placed. Alltel still advertises coverage at Angel Fire although there is not. Not analog or digital

No signal on either mu Motorola flip or my wife's Razr- although our pre-paid Nokia TracPhone works great, even while hunting up in the mountains.

I get no signal in the airport area, even though 2 miles away at I-25 exit 191, I get a fairly good signal.

Sprint is good for major cities and Interstate Highways. Since SE NM has neither, and Sprint puts in one tower in a town and expects it to cover everything, I am moving to Alltel. I wish I could get Verizon. But Alltel has a strong network here because they absorbed the former Cellular One network and merged all of that into their own. Regarding you folks who are complaining about Santa Fe, my sister-in-laws Alltel phone works in her home in the hills just outside downtown and my stupid Sprint phone is marginal if it works at all... ditto other family members T-Mobile and other carriers. I am trying to get rid of my employer-provided Sprint phone and already cancelled my wife's Sprint phone and am moving to Alltel. Hey, it works well all over here. Different strokes...

Might as well use the cell phone as a paper weight

Alltel says they have an "Angel Fire" cell phone tower -- which does not exist. Alltel will not let me out of my contract even though I have moved into the area. Buyer beware of Alltel.

The Los Ranchos de Albuquerque village has a one square mile dead hole for cellular service at the intersection. Do not get T-Mobile as a provider if you live in Los Ranchos! Los Ranchos is attenpting to contract with cell providers to put in a tower but selfish homeowners nearby are trying to block it 08 / 06
