What is 6-1-1?
'''6-1-1''' is a special [[telephone number]] in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]]. It is the number to call for phone service customers when there is a problem with phones in an area, or when a [[payphone]] is not working properly. Many [[mobile phone]] service providers use 6-1-1 as a [[customer service]] number. The [[Federal Communications Commission]] did not officially decide that the 6-1-1 number should be used for this. They decided to let it stay because it had already been accepted, or chosen, by the [[North America Numbering Plan]].
