ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Wireless users in Albuquerque are now experiencing increased coverage thanks to two new Verizon Wireless cell sites added in the first quarter. The enhanced network areas extend along Tramway Blvd. and the High Desert community, and in the area of the intersection of Central Ave. and Coors Blvd. SW.
"Our expansion is tied to our commitment to provide the best possible wireless experience for customers. It's just another way of ensuring that Verizon Wireless continues to be the leader in customer loyalty,*" said Tony Heyman, regional president of Verizon Wireless.
"And now customers have the opportunity to Test Drive our network for themselves for 30 days, virtually risk-free by adding a new line of service."
In an industry first, Verizon Wireless is putting customers in the driver's seat to take the nation's most reliable wireless network for a spin.
If at any point during the 30-day Test Drive customers are not satisfied with their experience and take their number to another wireless carrier, Verizon Wireless will refund their money for their calls, equipment, activation fee and taxes.
Verizon Wireless has invested nearly $205 million in its wireless network in New Mexico and El Paso over the past six years to stay ahead of the growth in demand for our products and services and to ensure the most reliable network in the industry.
The company has invested more than $37 billion in the last seven years $5 billion on average every year since the company was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services.
