- BIRHC reported that cell-phone calls could not reach the Health Center, while TDS worked on the issue; the next day it reported mainland calls and outgoing calls had returned but cell calls still failed. It reiterated that 911 remained operational. This is a first-party service notice, not a carrier incident log or complete outage duration.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 17 · t017619
