G'Lers
The phone lines in the Gambia are OK, the problem is that the major
Telephone carriers in the US have limited the number of dedicated  circuits
for the Gambia from the US. Gamtel has actually been getting a lot of
complaints about this and have asked the US Telephone carries to increase
the number of circuits for The Gambia but they are telling them that, since
they are not getting any complaints from their customers in the US, they
dont see the need to increase the number of circuits for the Gambia. Well,
bottomline is, this problem will continue unless we complain to the various
carriers in the US about the difficulty of getting through to the Gambia! I
would encourage everyone to give their Telephone service providers a call,
otherwise, the situation will only get worse.  Here are the customer service
numbers for some of the major US telephone carriers. Thanks and happy
holidays
