A WTOP listener reported similar issues in Montgomery County, Maryland, shortly after the issues in Fairfax County were reported.
Montgomery County police’s Emergency Communications Center said they had conducted tests with the four major wireless providers and did not see any issues. Montgomery County residents do not have the option to text emergency services and instead should place a call on a landline if experiencing cellphone issues.
In the case of an emergency, D.C. and Fairfax County suggest sending a text to 911 or calling the number on a landline.
