I just tried to telephone my wife, but the voice message said that the call could not go through at the moment due to ‘congestion’.

 

 

 

Should I pour Sudafed or similar down the phone?

Sudafed doesn't work anymore because the authorities in NZ have banned the active ingredient.  Overseas versions should still work if you can get hold of them. I know it's off topic but I couldn't resist.

Calling from voda to voda? Haven't heard that congestion message much since calling what now in the 80s.
