The problem looked like it was resolved late Thursday night and early Friday morning, but problems started again later Friday.

Tampa Police said the problem with 911 calls not getting through to Tampa police and fire rescue dispatchers were fixed Friday afternoon.

Some emergency callers were again not getting through to 911 in Tampa after problems plagued the area Thursday.

Officials said some calls from cell phones were not being connected with Tampa police or fire rescue dispatchers.

Hillsborough County sent an email Friday morning saying it was aware of issues -- but a sheriff's office spokesperson later sent a separate email saying the issues were not affecting the county.

It was not immediately clear how widespread Friday's problems were. Some mobile phone callers were apparently not having any problems, while others are getting fast busy tones.

Landline 911 calls were not affected.
