AT&T customers currently can’t get through to 911
State emergency officials said Wednesday calls to 911 from AT&T are not getting through.
The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency says you need to use another carrier or a landline for emergency calls. You can find alternate numbers below the story.
It’s reported that callers using AT&T either get a busy signal or the phone just keeps ringing.
The company said, in full, “We are aware of a service issues affecting some calls to 911 for wireless customers and we’re working to resolve it as quickly as possible. We apologize for this inconvenience.”
AT&T notified at least one emergency dispatch center in Middle Tennessee through a robocall.
At this time, it’s unclear what caused the outage or when it will be repaired. It appears to be affecting many states across the country.
