Calling From a Cell Phone?

2-1-1 is accessible through any cell phone carrier. If you cannot reach us by dialing 2-1-1 through your cell phone, call us by dialing 1.877.211.8667. Please also let your carrier know that you cannot dial 2-1-1. We would still like you to call us so that we can assist you directly. 

Calling From Work?

Some business phone systems need to be programmed to dial 2-1-1 directly. If you cannot dial 2-1-1 from your work phone, request 2-1-1 dialing access from your technical/communications department. Until you are provided access, you can reach us by dialing 1.877.211.8667. If you or your technical/communications department would like more technical information, please see this document.

Calling From Home?

If you cannot dial 2-1-1 from home, it may be because you are using VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) through a cable company or other provider. While some VOIP providers give their customers access to 2-1-1 service, others only provide access upon customer request. To solve this problem, call your service provider’s customer service line and tell them you cannot dial 2-1-1. We would still like you to call us so that we can assist you directly. You can reach us by dialing 1.877.211.8667.
