Do You Have an AT&T Cell Phone?  If So, Read This About a 9-1-1 Interruption

If you have an AT&T *cell* phone, dialing 9-1-1 may not work right now. They are troubleshooting the problem.

In the meantime, AT&T cell customers can call our 7-digit emergency number at (650) 321-4433, or use a landline phone.

Texting 9-1-1 from an AT&T cell phone does not appear to be impacted as of now in Palo Alto.

We will update this post once AT&T has solved this problem.

Please do not call or text 9-1-1 to test your phone or ask questions about this outage; instead, contact AT&T. Our public safety dispatchers have no additional information to share.
