Dear Fatou, I myself have made several attempts today and yesterday to get through to The Gambia and FINALLY, I did. Yes something is wrong with the phone lines. They can call out but it is very hard as you know to get a call in. I talked to someone and had told them to hang up, that I would call back but it took 1 and 1/2 hours to do so, when no one was on the phone on the receiving end. GOOD LUCK AND PATIENCE, after all it is a virtue. Eventually you to will get through!
