East Texas Phone Problems

EAST TEXAS – Rusk County officials tell our news partner KETK the phone lines there have been repaired and everything should be operating correctly. But residents in Cherokee County have continued to experience telephone problems first reported Thursday evening. In some areas, calls can only be made within exchanges. That can effect 911 calls. According to a release from the Cherokee County Sheriff’s office, “If the regular telephone number of Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office does not work, you may contact the Sheriff’s Office at 903-810-1911 until the telephone issues are resolved.”
