🚨 Call Issue Update & Action Needed 🚨

We are currently aware of an issue affecting some incoming calls between certain carriers and number prefixes.

At this time, the issue appears to be originating from the caller’s carrier (the person placing the call), not the receiving landline. For example, calls from cell numbers such as 841, 840, 360, 822, or 329 to landline numbers like 847, 849, or 662 may be impacted.

👉 What you can do:
If you (or someone trying to reach you) are using Verizon, please take the following steps:

• Dial 611 from your Verizon phone to reach customer service
• When you reach a representative (Tier 1), request to be transferred to Tier 2 support
• Ask them to create an NRB (Network Repair Bureau) ticket for a network issue

⚠️ You may need to be firm in requesting escalation.

📋 Be prepared to provide:
• Calling number
• Number you were trying to reach
• Date and exact time of the call (down to the minute)
• Description of the issue experienced
• Any feedback from the person you were trying to reach (what they heard or experienced)

⏱️ Please note: Reporting this issue can take time — anywhere from 35 minutes up to 2.5 hours based on recent experiences.

The more reports that are submitted, the faster carriers can identify and resolve the issue. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work toward a resolution!
