Do Your Part on Earth Day - Recycle Your Wireless Phone at Cellular One.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- SPECIAL - How can you do your part on Earth Day and help a child in need of an organ transplant at the same time? Join Cellular One's Restart campaign and recycle your used wireless telephone!

Already hundreds of phones have been collected at participating Cellular One retail locations throughout the country and online at www.restartphones.com. These donated phones translate directly into money that will be used by The Children's Organ Transplant Association (COTA) to help kids in need.

COTA helps kids like:

--Nine-year old Alexandra Serviss from Oklahoma, who was diagnosed with Restrictive Cardiomyopathy and is waiting for a life-saving heart-transplant;

--Five-year old Taylor Gross from Texas, who is waiting for a small bowel transplant because of Short Gut Syndrome and;

--Two-year old Connor Strasser from Wisconsin who is in renal failure and waiting for a kidney transplant.

And these are only three of the many children awaiting transplants that will benefit from the money raised by Restart.

"We're pleased to partner with COTA, a national charity that is committed to children awaiting transplants in all 50 states," said Craig Davis, Cellular One spokesman. "We ask everyone to help support this campaign by visiting one of our retail locations or donating online at www.restartphones.com."

Cellular One is a licensed trade name of Oklahoma City-based Dobson Cellular Systems and American Cellular Corporation. The company owns retail operations in 16 states and is known for its state-of-the-art wireless network and community commitment.

The Children's Organ Transplant Association is a national charity headquartered in Bloomington, Indiana. The organizations priority is to assure that no child is denied a transplant or excluded from a transplant waiting list due to lack of funds. For more information on COTA visit www.cota.org.
