Arkansas AT&T Customers Unable to Call 911

The Arkansas Traveler - news









Arkansas is one of the states where 911 dispatchers are unable to receive emergency calls from AT&T cell phone customers, a Fayetteville police sergeant said.











If people with AT&T cell phones dial 911, the call will not go through to dispatch centers and will just ring, said Sgt. Craig Stout of the Fayetteville Police Department.








It is a nationwide issue, and the company is unaware of when the problem will be resolved, Stout said.





Fayetteville residents affected are advised to call non-emergency phones if there is an emergency. The Washington County Sheriff's office can be reached at 479.444.5712, Central EMS, who dispatches rural fire departments and ambulance services for rural Washington County at 479.521.5800, the Fayetteville Police at  479.521.7276 or 479.521.3473 or the UA Police at 479.575.2222.
