Equipment repaired, landlines unaffected during outage

911 emergency service has been restored for cell phone users in the City of Fort Wayne and Allen County.

Earlier today an equipment failure in Indigital Telecom'€™s Indiana Fiber Network prevented 911 calls from cell phones from going through. The equipment was repaired and service has been restored. Cell phone users needed to use an alternate 7-digit number to reach the City or County'€™s emergency communications center.

Landlines were unaffected during this outage.
