             Re: Alamosa (Delaware), Inc.
                 Registration Statement on Form S-4

    Ladies and Gentlemen:

             We are acting as special counsel to Alamosa (Delaware), Inc., a
    Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the public offering of
    $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 8 1/2% Senior Notes
    due 2012 (the "Exchange Notes"). The Exchange Notes are to be issued pursuant to
    an exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer") in exchange for a like principal
    amount of the issued and outstanding 8 1/2% Senior Notes due 2012 of the Company
    (the "Original Notes") under the Indenture, dated as of January 20, 2004 (the
    "Indenture"), by and among the Company, the Guarantors listed on the signature
    pages thereto and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., as Trustee (the "Trustee"),
    as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of January 20,
    2004 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), by and among the Company, the
    Guarantors listed on the signature pages thereto, UBS Securities LLC, Bear,
    Stearns & Co. Inc. and Lehman Brothers Inc.

             This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of
    Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
    (the "Act").

             In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies,
    certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration
    Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-114592) relating to the Exchange Notes filed
    with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on April 19,
    2004 under the Act and Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (as so
    amended, the "Registration Statement") filed with the Commission on the date
    hereof under the Act; (ii) an executed copy of the Registration Rights
    Agreement; (iii) an executed copy of the Indenture; (iv) the Amended and
    Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as certified by the
    Secretary of State of the

    Alamosa (Delaware), Inc.
    July 14, 2004
    Page 2

    State of Delaware; (v) the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company,
    certified by the Secretary of the Company as currently in effect; (vi) certain
    resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 13, 2004
    relating to the Exchange Offer, the issuance of the Original Notes and the
    Exchange Notes, the Indenture and related matters; (vii) the Form T-1 of the
    Trustee filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; and (viii) the form
    of the Exchange Notes. We have also examined originals or copies, certified or
    otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and
    such agreements, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers or
    other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents,
    certificates and records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis
    for the opinion set forth herein.

             In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural
    persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
    submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all
    documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the
    authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. In making our
    examination of executed documents or documents to be executed, we have assumed
    that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had or will have the power,
    corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and
    have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or
    other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the
    validity and binding effect on such parties. As to any facts material to the
    opinion expressed herein which we have not independently established or
    verified, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and
    other representatives of the Company and others.

             Our opinion set forth herein is limited to Delaware corporate law and
    the laws of the State of New York that are normally applicable to transactions
    of the type contemplated by the Exchange Offer and, to the extent that judicial
    or regulatory orders or decrees or consents, approvals, licenses,
    authorizations, validations, filings, recordings or registrations with
    governmental authorities are relevant, to those required under such laws (all of
    the foregoing being referred to as "Opined on Law"). We do not express any
    opinion with respect to the law of any jurisdiction other than Opined on Law or
    as to the effect of any such non-opined on law on the opinion herein stated.

             Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and the limitations,
    qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the
    opinion that when (i) the Registration Statement becomes effective and (ii) the
    Exchange Notes (in the form examined by us) have been duly executed and
    authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and have been
    delivered upon consummation of the Exchange Offer against receipt of Original
    Notes surrendered in exchange therefor in accordance with the terms of the
    Exchange Offer, the Exchange Notes will constitute valid and binding obligations
    of the

    Alamosa (Delaware), Inc.
    July 14, 2004
    Page 3

    Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except
    to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by (1) bankruptcy,
    insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar
    laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally and (2)
    general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered
    in a proceeding at law or in equity).

             In rendering the opinion set forth above, we have assumed that the
    execution and delivery by the Company of the Exchange Notes and the performance
    by the Company of its obligations thereunder do not and will not violate,
    conflict with or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which
    the Company or its properties is subject, except that we do not make this
    assumption for those agreements and instruments which have been identified to us
    by the Company as being material to it and which are listed in Part II of the
    Registration Statement and we do not express any opinion as to whether the
    execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Exchange Notes will
    constitute a violation of, or a default under, any covenant, restriction or
    provision with respect to financial ratios or tests or any aspect of the
    financial condition or results of operations of the Company or any of its
    subsidiaries.

             We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as
    an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to
    our firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement. In
    giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the
    category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the
    rules and regulations of the Commission.

                                      Very truly yours,

                                      /s/ Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
