                ALAMOSA ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER CUSTOMER RESULTS

                     Provides Fixed Asset Guidance for 2004

    Highlights

     - Net subscriber additions totaled approximately 34,000

     - Total subscribers of approximately 727,000 increased 4.9 percent
       sequentially quarter over quarter and 16.9 percent year over year

     - Wireless portability has immaterial impact on fourth quarter subscriber
       results

     - Customer churn was approximately 2.5 percent for the fourth quarter and
       2.7 percent for the full year of 2003

     - Fixed asset additions in 2004 will be in the range of $50 to $65 million

LUBBOCK, Texas, Jan. 6 -- Alamosa Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ALMO)
today announced fourth quarter 2003 customer results for net subscriber
additions, customer churn and total subscribers. The Company also provided
2004 guidance for fixed asset additions in the range of $50 to $65 million.

Net subscriber additions totaled approximately 34,000 for the fourth quarter
of 2003 compared to approximately 16,000 in the third quarter of 2003 and
31,000 in the fourth quarter of 2002. Subscriber results were positively
impacted by a reduction in customer churn and seasonal holiday demand for
wireless services. Additionally, wireless local number portability (WLNP),
which went into effect on November 24, 2003 in markets accounting for
approximately 18% of the Company's subscriber base, had no material impact
during the quarter. WLNP will be implemented in the remaining customer base by
May 24, 2004.

Total subscribers of approximately 727,000 at December 31, 2003 increased 4.9
percent sequentially from the previous quarter-end and 16.9 percent from the
same date one year ago. The customer churn rate was approximately 2.5 percent
for the fourth quarter of 2003, down sequentially from approximately 2.9
percent in the third quarter of 2003 and approximately 3.4 percent in the
fourth quarter of 2002. For the full year of 2003, the customer churn rate was
approximately 2.7 percent, an improvement from approximately 3.4 percent for
the full year of 2002. Finally, the Company also provided 2004 guidance for
fixed asset additions in the range of $50 to $65 million, primarily for
continued network expansion, maintenance and capacity as needed.

"Our customer results in the fourth quarter have provided us with a solid
foundation and positive momentum as we begin 2004," stated David E. Sharbutt,
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Alamosa Holdings, Inc. "2003 was a
strategic year for Alamosa as we successfully addressed our capital structure
and continued to grow our subscriber base while maintaining a high quality
wireless network. We believe the year of 2004 will provide us with many
opportunities to continue executing our business plan and building value for
all of Alamosa's stakeholders."
