Sprint

I have had Sprint for several years and been locked into contracts because of new phone upgrades, but they have horrible service all over Albuquerque. I drop calls all the time at I-25 / Candelaria and I-40 / 12th, many places off of Irving west of Coors BLVD, I-40 / 98th, and the most frustrating of all, in my home, in the SW heights, reception is the worst. Sitting in my home and not even moving, the call drops. Steer away from Sprint in ABQ. Check the number of Sprint complaints in this forum.

I've had pretty decent coverage with T-Mobile. I've never had a dropped call in Albuquerque on T-Mobile. I will admit their coverage outside of the city is kind of spotty, and, at points, I will go roaming on Cingular while outside of the city.

I'm very happy with my Cingular service all over Rio Rancho. No problems since I got their service (>6 months).

Use both cellphone and aircard for internet and get a very good useable signal all over town. Air card never drops out, cellphone will drop sometimes.

Tried them all over the past 8 years... Verizon, Tmobile, Alltel, Sprint, Cricket, and now Cingular... I do business all over Albuquerque and Cingular is by far the best!

guess living next to the petroglyph has it's advantages and disadvantages, cell reception is #1 on the disadvantage list! 1 BAR and repeated dropped calls!

T- Mobile reps informed Los Ranchos ressidents that T-Mobile actually needs towers EVERY SQUARE MILE in the Albuquerque metro area. Who is calling who selfish?

I live right south of Zia School (Nob Hill) and I have the worst reception. Not too many dropped calls, but people can almost never understand me. It is especially bad when I call people on other networks or landlines. They are trying to troubleshoot, but after reading the comments in this forum, I don't have that much hope. I'll update though, should something change. The area affected seems to be between Lomas and Central and Washington and San Mateo (N-S and W-E). I am going to keep complaining about this, because even outside the building it's not working too well.

Major streets are also rarely a problem.

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
