I'm not sure when SBC acquired the CellularONE brand, but they owned it until they sold it as part of the creation of Cingular. The brand went to Western Wireless.
Western Wireless was then bought by Alltel. Alltel is marketing under their own name, but there are some independent C1 franchisees like Dobson who continue to sell their services as CellularONE.

It's all fun and games until someone starts a bonfire in the living room.
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: 'Dobson Cellular One' is what we have here in our town. Dobson also has an 'antenna farm' southeast of town in a rural area called Liberty, Kansas, and quite a few carriers are out there on his 'farm', where he leases space to them. PAT]
