    MY SON JUST CALLED FROM THE JACKS BRANCH ROAD AREA IN CANTONMENT AND STATED THE PHONE LINES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE MESSAGE HE RECEIVED WHEN CALLING MY BUSINESS LINES (3 OF THEM) STATED THAT THE NUMBER HE WAS CALLING WAS DISCONNECTED AND THEN WHEN HE TRIED CALLING MY CELL PHONE (AT&T IS THE PROVIDER) AND THE MESSAGE HE RECEIVED STATED ALL CIRCUITS WERE BUSY. HOPEFULLY NOW (11:20 A.M.) IT IS FIXED, BUT I DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF EVERYTHING IS RESOLVED AND DO NOT KNOW ABOUT OTHER AREAS.
