I know they do have different routing based on the number calling in - VIPs etc are given priority based on their telephone number.

Mayby VM have this too?


I had a few long delays at the start of the first lockdown - but nothing more than minutes since - even though the recorded message said they were very busy.
I don't think it would work as people can just dial from a different number.

Ultimately, if a company doesn't want to supply a service to a customer then generally it doesn't have to. The exception being those with a universal service obligation like water companies.
