Can’t call a Vernon Taxi cab?

Company's telephone lines experiencing technical difficulties, but cars can still be booked

  • Feb. 3, 2020 12:00 a.m.

Calls aren’t getting through to Vernon Taxi today, as the company’s phone lines are down.

The company said it has been experiencing problems since earlier this morning.

When the 250-545-3337 number is dialed, the only thing that greets the caller is a busy signal.

“Bell phone lines are still down and we are at their mercy,” a spokesperson from the company said.

Bell sent a tweet out this morning stating full Bell Mobility and Virgin Mobile services have been restored for B.C. customers around 10 p.m. Sunday. The outage, the company said, was due to a damaged third-party fibre line near North Bend.

Several customers have responded that disruptions are still being experienced.

Customers requiring cab services may book a ride via email at vernontaxidispatch@gmail.com.
