WASHINGTON, N.C. (WNCT) - CenturyLink phone services in Beaufort County, along with several other areas in Eastern North Carolina, went silent on Friday for a few hours.
This issue was first brought to 9 On Your Side's attention by the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office, who thought the outage would affect
911 communications. They sent out an alternative number for people to call.
