Signs on Community Path light poles

[ceo]

I've noticed that the city has put signs on all the light poles on the bike path, that say to call 311 to report a light out.

They'd be more useful if 311 worked from cell phones.

311 is supposed to work with all cell providers.

The other number is 617-666-3311. I recommend you call that and tell them that 311 doesn't work with your cell phone.

(the TTY number is 866-808-4851 ; during business hours only)

Does it depend on the area code of the cell phone? If you call 311 while standing on the Somerville Community Path with a cell phone from area code 212, will you get Joe Curtatone's 311, or Mike Bloomberg's?

I dunno, but I only have a cell phone and have had no problem calling 311. I have AT&T and have made my 311 calls from Somerville.

Last time I asked about this, I heard it depends on where you call *from*, so it should work as long as you hit a tower inside Somerville city lines.
