Locations Agencies, Government Entities and Companies - If you are unable to access 2-1-1 from your work phone talk with your technical/communications department to request 2-1-1 dialing access. Until the situation is corrected, you can reach 2-1-1 by dialing 877-652-1148. 

If you are unable to access 2-1-1 from home it may be because you are using VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) through a cable company. Some VOIP providers give their customers full access to 2-1-1 service. Others only provide access to 2-1-1 upon customer request. They will not accept trouble reports from 2-1-1 on your behalf. The best way to correct the problem is to call your service provider's customer service line and report that you cannot dial 2-1-1.
