This Form 8-K/A amends and restates the Current Report on Form 8-K of AirGate PCS, Inc., filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2005.

Item 1.01.      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On January 25, 2005, AirGate PCS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a supplemental indenture (each, a “Supplemental Indenture” and, collectively, the “Supplemental Indentures”) to each of (1) the Indenture, dated as of February 20, 2004, by and among the Company, as issuer, the guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”), and The Bank of New York, as trustee, under which the Company’s 9.375% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due 2009 (the “9.375% Notes”) were issued (the “9.375% Notes Indenture”), and (2) the Indenture, dated as of October 25, 2004, by and among the Company, as issuer, the Guarantors, and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, under which the Company’s First Priority Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2011 (the “Floating Rate Notes”) were issued (the “Floating Rate Notes Indenture” and, together with the 9.375% Notes Indenture, the “Indentures”). The Supplemental Indentures amend the definition of “Change of Control” in each of the two Indentures so that the Company’s previously announced merger with Alamosa Holdings, Inc. (the “Merger”) does not constitute a “Change of Control” under the Indentures. The effectiveness of the Supplemental Indentures is conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger on or before June 30, 2005.

Item 8.01.      Other Events.

     On January 26, 2005, the Company announced the expiration of its consent solicitation relating to the 9.375% Notes and the Floating Rate Notes pursuant to its Consent Solicitation Statement, dated January 11, 2005 (the “Consent Solicitation”). In the Consent Solicitation, consents representing approximately 97% and 92% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding 9.375% Notes and Floating Rate Notes, respectively, were validly delivered. The Company also announced that in connection with the expiration of the Consent Solicitation, it intended to promptly execute a supplemental indenture to each of the indentures under which each series of Notes was issued, to be operative upon completion of the Merger. A copy of the Company’s press release relating to this matter is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 9.01.      Financial Statements and Exhibits.
