What's up With VTS?

I understand his business model and have been trying him by phone - figured that was made clear in my second post. When one tries each week for a few months, usually at least twice in a given week, and still can't make contact, what is one supposed to think, the guy is just on one super long vacation??? Guess I'm just extremely unfortunate with my timing everytime I call. 

I'm pretty sure he doesn't have call waiting. I've made calls where the phone rings & rings,  and when I call back later he'll answer.
I know, not a great service for the customers, but he's worth the wait.

Yesterday when I tried calling multiple timee, hours apart, it wouldn't even ring. The dial was followed by a brief silence and then a disconnect with a "line busy" notice. I get that he's old-school but would a voicemail be asking too much? Maybe next time I should send a letter by horseback.

but would a voicemail be asking too much? 

do you know how many voicemails he would have ?    
You complain that he doesn’t answer the phone now , well having to listen to a a lot of voicemails would only make things worse for him and customers.
