All circuits are busy please try again later

This indicates that there are no free telephone circuits available in the phone network to complete your call. This can occur if the phone number you are calling is in an area that is experiencing phone network issues. This could be a mobile phone number in a highly congested area, or an area with mobile network outages.
Or it could be that all of your allocated VoIP phone lines are in use.

The number you have called is not connected 

This indicates the phone number is either not connected, or is inaccessible from our VoIP network.
If you know the phone number works from another network, such as a mobile phone network, please contact us and we can investigate and resolve the issue.
