311 Service from a cell phone

Happy Second Annual Neighbor Day!

One tradition on Neighbor Day is to dial your local 311 public servant and give them a “Happy Neighbor Day” to thank them for all their hard work through the year as public servants, as they deliver their help to the people who need it most.

But good luck getting 311 service on your cell phone, it often isn’t programmed into the interface, and you’ll hear a connection error. Hopefully, the cell phone providers will add this capability, as they added 911 (and as they grabbed 611 for themselves). But in the meantime, you can still reach your local 311 service through a regular phone number. For instance, I typed “Denver 311 service” into my DuckDuckGo search box and it took me to to the 311 website for Denver, where I found the alternate phone number, 720-913-1311, and where they also have a chat box.

Please spend a moment to thank your local 311 public servant employees and Happy Neighbor Day!
