Is anyone else having problems with Text Relay (Typetalk)?

Good morning everyone, hope you're safe and well?
I'm asking this question because I've been trying for the last hour to make a Typetalk call and every time I try to make the call it either says "No Carrier" after a few moments or "TXD Connecting Typetalk" repeatedly for a minute or two and then it says that all operators are busy and to stop keying. Is the service having some problems? I've used it for years and never had anything like this and I don't know what's wrong. I was due to have an meeting at 9:00am this morning with the Disability Employment Advisor at the Jobcentre but I can't make it due to heavy snow and as I'm a wheelchair user I'm unable to get out and I wanted to make the people aware of this but it now looks like they'll think I haven't bothered to show up when in reality I've been trying repeatedly to get in touch to no success. I have also tried to call by both Typetalk and Minicom the Text Relay company to see if they're having any problems but I can't even get an answer from there either and the same thing is happening, really frustrating because I don't know what the problem is. Thank you for your help

NOT BUYING IT
(unless it's on offer and can get my loyalty points)
I (finally!) managed to get through to the person I needed to call and the operator told me that their office had been flooded and that has really impacted on their service. Hopefully this information will come in handy to any other TypeTalk users having problems with the service of late. Have a lovely Christmas, both of you
