Market shares of cell phone carriers in Albuquerque (rank, area)

[Pink Jazz]

I was wondering, does anyone know about the market shares of different cell phone carriers in Albuquerque.

I have noticed that there are many people in Albuquerque that are with Verizon and T-Mobile. I personally use AT&T. Cricket is also fairly common, however, Sprint doesn't appear to be very popular in ABQ. I have heard reports of coverage issues with Sprint in ABQ.

Does anyone have any official data though?

No official records. I use to have sprint in ABQ and the coverage was terrible. I would go with AT&T.

If I would guess, here is how I would say they rank in terms of market share in Albuquerque:

1. Verizon (including Alltel)
2. T-Mobile
3. Cricket
4. AT&T
5. Sprint (includes Nextel)

Sprint used to be ahead of AT&T, but this seems to have changed in recent years, as AT&T has greatly improved their coverage in the area since the Cingular merger and has added 3G coverage to the area. The iPhone is also probably helping AT&T gain market share in the area.
