MCGRATH: I've been having an email conversation with ATT Alascom staff today after being unable to dial long distance from the stations landline. Our AT ksko Landline is provided by UUI, long distance and our toll free # is provided by ATT.

When we had phone problems a few weeks ago that eventually got fixed, long distance appears to have worked at some point and but it appears to not work again.

There's some piece of equipment that's been in alarm mode, non working and ATT Alascom tells me they aren't getting the necessary signal from the GCI switch for long distance calls to complete. ATT has opened a new ticket wtih GCI as GCI closed the old one.

This is why you likely aren't able to reach KSKO from outside McGrath on the 907 or 1800 number (907 524-3001 will be reachable anywhere, but 1800 605 KSKO is only reachable in Alaska)
