Verizon’s Cell & 911 Service Interrupted

NOTE – ACCORDING TO THE MICHIGAN STATE POLICE, SERVICE WAS RESTORED AROUND 9:00 THIS MORNING.

Verizon customers in Keweenaw and Houghton counties may have some trouble getting phone service, including making 911 calls.

The Michigan Public Safety Communication System says that there was a fiber optic cable cut near Bumbletown Road.

This caused a cell service outage in Keweenaw County and northern Houghton County.

The outage also prevents access to 911 services by cellphone.

Until service is restored, 911 can still be reached by traditional land line phones, or call the Houghton County Sheriff’s Office at 482-0055 or 482-4411 until further notice.

Frontier and Verizon are working on the problem and hope to have it fixed soon.

Other cell carriers shouldn’t be affected.
