en.Wedoany.com Reported - Fiber broadband operator Dobson Fiber has officially added mobile services to its bundled offerings, covering parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas. Dobson Fiber partnered with Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE) Reach to launch Dobson Mobile, which currently offers four plan options: By-the-Gig at $15 per month, including 1GB of high-speed mobile data, unlimited talk and text, and 1GB of mobile hotspot data, with the price rising to $25 per line per month when broadband service is interrupted; Essentials at $25 per month, including 5GB of high-speed mobile data, 5GB of mobile hotspot data, and unlimited talk and text, with the price rising to $40 when broadband service is interrupted; Unlimited at $30 per month, including 30GB of high-speed mobile data (throttled after exceeding), 5GB of hotspot data, and unlimited talk and text, with the price rising to $35 when broadband service is interrupted; and Unlimited+ at $40 per month, including 50GB of high-speed mobile data (throttled after reaching the threshold), 10GB of mobile hotspot data, and unlimited talk and text, with the price rising to $50 when broadband service is interrupted.
Dobson Mobile supports Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) for compatible smartphones and sells select devices online through its partnership with Reach, including several Google Pixel, Motorola, Samsung, and TCL models. Dobson Fiber and Reach did not disclose the specific mobile network used for the new service, but Reach's platform supports AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon networks. Reach confirmed that this deployment is not based on the exclusive MVNO agreement between the National Content & Technology Cooperative (NCTC) and AT&T. NCTC is a cooperative that provides programming and technology deals for hundreds of small and mid-sized cable and broadband operators and has MVNE agreements with both Reach and Telgoo5.
Reach manages multiple elements for Dobson Mobile, including service activation, billing, and service support infrastructure. The two companies stated that Dobson controls the service brand and broader customer relationships. Dobson Fiber offers the new mobile service through its call center, website, and direct sales representatives, and does not operate any physical retail stores.
As a privately held company, Dobson Fiber's network covers over 6,500 miles of fiber. Patricia Martin, a former executive at Point Broadband and Cox Communications, was recently appointed CEO of Dobson Fiber. The launch of Dobson Fiber's mobile service is part of a broader trend where cable and fiber broadband operators are adding mobile services to bundled packages, primarily to reduce customer churn. Beyond this launch, several U.S. broadband operators have introduced similar mobile services and formed partnership networks with their respective MVNE and MVNO partners.
