Rules & Regulations

Having trouble getting through the phone lines?

Our phone lines do get a little busy and can sometimes make it difficult to get through.

Common concerns are: "All I ever get is a busy signal" OR "Is it normal to receive a recorded message saying the customer you have dialled is currently unavailable?"

Both of these issues are normal during high call volume times.

Phone companies use different cell towers and systems. Varying coverage areas can cause dropped calls, dead spots during conversations, or other connection problems.

The technology isn’t perfect and there are times during contests when the overwhelming volume of calls can cause a connection error.

Different telephone providers interpret busy signals differently. That's why they sometimes give a busy signal and other times you get an automated voice message stating that the person you are trying to reach is unavailable, or currently does not have service.

We cannot control how your telephone provider interprets phone calls and you may receive mixed messages from your provider depending on how their system is reacting at the time of your call.

It is normal to receive a busy signal or recorded message. Frustrating, but normal.

Please hang up and try again and hopefully, we can tell you you’re caller number 9!

Best of luck and thanks for listening.
