Petite Fleur
Ahold
"I could not get ahold of her"
My question is:
-this sentence is it too informal?
- what is it the correct way to express the same?

'I could not get hold of her' is standard, neutral language.

After reading Su.Ki.'s answer, I would like to change mine. I was thinking of a context of physically holding a person. My answer would be appropriate for that, but really it is not as common of a context as trying to reach someone via a communication line, like a telephone, or email. For that context, Su.Ki.'s answer is better.

It is a little informal. A more formal way is "I could not grasp her", or "I could not grab her."
