"911 calls from landlines on Century Link won't go through. In case of an emergency, call 911 on your CELL phone."

Kind of scary. The only reason some keep a landline IS in case of an emergency.

According to the town's website phone service has been restored - http://www.wtmorris.org/

Apparently last night a cut cable on the Century Link phone network disrupted local and 911 phone service. Phone lines at the police department were not working, so calling 908-876-3232 gave you a busy signal. The situation was resolved and phone service has been restored.
