According to the coverage map, Chama, NM is in an extended coverage area for both voice and data. It is possible that was covered by Alltel before and was one of the areas of the Alltel service area purchased by AT&T in the divestment required by the FCC for the Verizon/Alltel merger.

I just looked up the divestment map again. The following Alltel RSA areas were sold to AT&T. NM RSA 1 (Cibola, McKinley, Rio Arriba, San Juan and Taos Counties) NM RSA 5 (Grant, Hidalgo, and Luna counties) and NM RSA 6 (Chaves, Eddy, Lee, Lincoln, and Otero counties) plus the Las Cruces NM MSA (CMA 285) Dona Ana county.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
