Question
I have Cellular One phone plan with 3 phones,and lost a phone, to keep my same plan I need to purchase a dobson sim card and I was told it will work with my plan. I do have an extra Cell One phone.AT&T has bought them out and at&t wants me to resign with them at a much higher rate. will this work and where do I find a Dobson sim card?

Answer
You need AT&T to activate any SIM so I won't help to get a Dobson SIM and AT&T won't activate that SIM. I know you don't want to do it, but I would recommend you switch over to AT&T. You will need less minutes since you wil be on AT&T's network and get mobile to mobile and rollover so it may not be as expensive as you may think.
