T-Mobile

I usually receive calls but while I am talking, reception is constantly fading in and out. I am always having to ask people to repeat themselves. The grocery store near my house (Smiths, Tramway and Mont) usually has absolutely no reception. Customer service has been extremely poor -- I'd give it 0 out of 5.

We have had Verizon for 6 years and we have not ever had an Albuquerque reception problem. We have traveled to many different parts of rural New Mexico and have had good coverage. There were places that were dead spots, but you would expect them to be dead (middle of a canyon, next to mountain, etc.). I think the reception problems people have may sometimes be due to their cell phones rather than their location. From my readings about coverage, it seems Verizon is #1 hands down, then T-Mobile is #2, and AT&T is #3. Disclaimer: We have family that come and visit with their AT&T phones and T-Mobile phones, and they have not had a problem when being here.

I get two bars, and for most of the time the signal is Ok. But, on an average, I get 5-10% calls dropped. Very frustrating, if you've been on hold for 15 min, and jsut got to talk to a rep, and that's when the call gets dropped :( Decent reception and no dropped calls everywhere else in ABQ though. So, must be my area in Ventana Ranch that drops the calls :(

Get the occasional dropped call (as I've gotten no matter where I am with every provider), but overall no problems with service anywhere i've been in albuquerque. So far ATT has been the best I've found both in abq and elsewhere.

Had Sprint for 4 years now, with 3 models of phone between my wife and I. It's continuing to deteriorate. My wife and I have the same model now and both continue to go to roaming randomly throughout Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. We used to live near Wyoming / Comanche and couldn't even pick up roaming at times. Never had a solid connection while inside. Text are beginning to get a lot of delay time. Get anywhere near a building at Intel and calls will drop as you enter roaming, provided you get a signal at all before you enter a building. Sprint is a sinking ship, abandon all hope. We'll be changing service's next month when our contract is up.

I recently moved to albuquerque and fond that my phone gets almot no reception. It actually shows full 5 bars for my signal reception but almost all calls are dropped during the first 2 seconds or while the line is still ringing. I'm switching to another carrier.

Even after we updated the roaming software *228 we can only get two bars in our back yard.

Have lived at the same location and had Verizon for 6 years. Reception has been getting progressively worse over the years. Have to go outside my house to make a call without being disconnected constantly. My girlfriend has T-Mobile and reception is perfect.
