Occasional delays in reaching a live operator can occur during peak times, especially for non-emergency calls. Emergency calls are always prioritized, so it's crucial to clearly state the nature of your emergency when calling. For non-emergency queries, calling during off-peak hours may reduce wait times. If you experience delays, consider using online resources or scheduling a call-back for less urgent matters. Always have necessary information ready to expedite the process.
