          591,000 total subscribers.

     o    Third consecutive quarter of positive EBITDA (earnings, excluding
          asset impairments, and before interest, taxes, depreciation and
          amortization, as further defined below).

     o    Net loss for the third quarter, prior to an estimated charge for
          the impairment of goodwill was $29.2 million or $0.31 per share.
          After the goodwill impairment, the net loss was $320.8 million or
          $3.45 per share.

     o    $116.4 million in available funding, including $91.4 million in
          cash and cash equivalents, (of which $35.0 million represents
          restricted cash in escrow accounts for bond interest payments)
          and $25.0 million in an undrawn bank facility, subject to certain
          restrictions.

     o    Introduced Sprint's newest offering, PCS Vision, on August 8,
          2002.

     o    Amended senior credit facility for remainder of 2002 and beyond.

LUBBOCK, Texas (November 6, 2002) - Alamosa Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: APS), the
largest PCS affiliate of Sprint (NYSE: FON, PCS) based on number of
subscribers, today reported results for the third quarter ended September
30, 2002. The Company reported positive EBITDA of approximately $5.4
million, along with approximately 20,000 net new subscribers, bringing
total subscribers to approximately 591,000. This represents a 46 percent
increase over the same quarter one year ago. Customer churn was
approximately 3.8 percent. Subscriber revenue increased approximately 12
percent sequentially and 53 percent over the same quarter one year ago.
During the third quarter of 2002, the Company commenced its first annual
impairment test required by SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets"
recording an estimated impairment charge of $291.6 million or $3.14 per
share of goodwill on the Company's books.

"Despite the challenges facing the wireless industry, Alamosa continued to
grow the number of subscribers in its territories and more importantly,
generate positive EBITDA during the third quarter," stated David E.
Sharbutt, Chief Executive Officer of Alamosa Holdings, Inc.

"Improving shareholder value is our highest priority. Operationally, we are
extremely focused on increasing our rate of customer additions and
decreasing churn. We are also looking at ways to decrease our customer
costs, increase margins and leverage our fixed asset base, which should
result in improved financial performance. The initial response to PCS
Vision has been positive, and we expect the demand for third generation
services to increase and translate into value for Alamosa in the future.

"In addition to our aggressive efforts to further improve the operational
side of the business, we are taking proactive steps to address marketplace
concerns about our future prospects," Sharbutt added. "We successfully
reached an agreement with our senior lending group to modify certain
covenants in our $225 million senior secured credit facility, and we are
also actively working with the New York Stock Exchange regarding our
compliance with its listing requirements. Our business has shown signs of
improvement throughout 2002. We are increasing revenues, generating
positive EBITDA, and getting closer to our next milestone of free cash flow
in 2003. More importantly, we believe we have adequate funding to reach
that goal."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Total revenue for the third quarter was approximately $147.4 million,
including subscriber revenue of $103.6 million, roaming revenue of $39.1
million and product sales of $4.7 million. Roaming revenue increased 17
percent compared to second quarter of 2002 due to increased roaming traffic
from Sprint and other PCS carriers.

EBITDA was a positive $5.4 million compared to positive $6.4 million for
the second quarter and a negative $11.3 million for the third quarter of
2001. The net loss for the third quarter, prior to an estimated charge for
the impairment of goodwill, was $29.2 million or $0.31 per share compared
to a net loss of $28.7 million or $0.31 per share in the second quarter of
2002 and a net loss of $37.7 million or $0.41 per share for the third
quarter of 2001.

The Company took an estimated impairment charge of $291.6 million or $3.14
per share based on the initial estimate from the appraisal process
commenced in the third quarter for the first annual impairment test
required by SFAS No. 142. Goodwill recorded on the Company's books related
to the three acquisitions completed in first quarter of 2001. The appraisal
process will be completed in the fourth quarter and reflects current market
conditions and the significant decline in market valuations for wireless
companies since the Company first adopted the statement in early 2002. This
resulted in a total net loss of $320.8 million or $3.45 per share for the
quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, Alamosa had available funding of $116.4
million. This included approximately $56.4 million of cash and cash
equivalents, $35.0 million in restricted cash escrowed for the payment of
bond interest, and committed but unused credit facilities at the end of the
third quarter of $25.0 million, subject to certain restrictions. Alamosa
continues to expect to be over funded in excess of $50 million at the point
of becoming free cash flow positive in 2003. Capital expenditures for the
third quarter were approximately $9.3 million.
