    Also, Frontier to Verizon calls were down. I called Frontier to report the problem. The repair department had no clue, as always.

    att had a fiber cut in pensacola area today and that has some cell service and longdistance out until cable is repaired.all local trafic on frontier is ok. 587 to 587 or 587 to 327 is working fine unless you have cable.calling south to cantonment or pensacola area is long distance, you just dont get charged for that. Iam sure they will have it back up just alittle while. But as william has posted you CAN call your local fire dept., that # should always be near your phone.This type of thing can happen anytime.

    Think this is more than Frontier this time; my ATT cell phones have no signal in the Molino area either. Hope to learn the cause once it is fixed.

    >>>frontier is the worst company- and today when we desperately needed a land line we did not have access-

    This is *not* just a Frontier issue today. It appears AT&T landline customers are having issues as well.

    frontier is the worst company- and today when we desperately needed a land line we did not have access- as a result we had alot of troubles from the outage- wish someone else was in area…
