(WHAM file photo) Verizon Wireless customers who lived in the Monroe, Ontario, and Wyoming counties are no longer experiencing difficulties calling 911 after having difficulties on Saturday. All three counties advised people if they had issues calling 911 to instead text 911. As of 11 p.m., the Ontario County 911 Center and the Wyoming County 911 Center is able to receive 911 calls. Monroe County said a little after 10:00, the 911 center was able to receive 911 calls.
