Cell Phone Test to Cut Service
by Rod Hughes
Communications between land lines and cellular phones will be broken for a phone company (ICE) test from midnight Saturday night (March 1) to 6 a.m Sunday morning for a phone company (ICE) test, reported The Tico Times Online. The temporary interruption of service is due to a test ICE is conducting preliminary to converting all telephone numbers to eight digits March 20.
Although part of the system will be out of service, cell phones can still access each other during the six hours of testing. Emergency 911 service will still be available. The changeover will add an “8″ to the beginning of cell phone numbers and a “2″ to land line prefixes.
