On occasion the partners of 2-1-1 Maine will hear from an organization or individual that has had difficulty reaching 2-1-1 Maine. Here are some common problems:
- Certain organizations have telephone software that does not recognize a newly programmed number such as 511 or 2-1-1. If there is a telephone technology person available, check to see that 2-1-1 dialing has been enabled.
- Every major telephone carrier in the state has made 2-1-1 dialing available to its customers. Because the telephone industry is very complex, there are many small providers now operating. If this might be the problem, please have the name of the phone carrier before contacting 2-1-1.
In addition, occasionally, individuals reach the national 2-1-1 information website by mistake (www.211.org) and cannot find appropriate service data. Please remember the 2-1-1 Maine website address is www.211maine.org.
2-1-1 Maine, Inc. is a nonprofit organization formed in partnership with United Ways of Maine and Ingraham to develop a health and human services information and referral service system to serve the entire State of Maine, every day and in times of crisis.
