Hello,
I have confirmed through testing this morning that our phone line issue still has not been resolved. According to Frontier, it's being worked on currently. I have confirmed many other businesses in the Richland Center area are having the same issue. I will continue to send out community updates as they become available.
Here is a recap of the effects of this widespread interruption of service:
We cannot dial out to cell phones
We cannot dial out to long distance exchanges
Long distance cannot reach us
Cell phones cannot reach us
Thanks, Adam.
