    Thanks for the comp. I saw this advertised on tv over the weekend and had a read of the t&c's. This part worried me though:

    How do I enter a competition?
    You can generally enter our competitions by either text messages from your mobile or by calling from your landline telephone. In some competitions there may be free entry routes made available, in which case you will be offered a genuine choice to enter by post and email or via a website without payment.
    Where a free entry route is offered, no purchase or payment is necessary to be made by you. You may unless notified otherwise in any particular competition, enter by sending your answer, name and telephone number written clearly on a postcard to:
    • Competitions Dept., Box Television Limited, Third Floor, Mappin House, 4 Winsley Street, London W1W 8HF
    Please state clearly which competition you are entering.
    Each individual competition will tell you how you can enter in that particular case and provide you with the relevant telephone numbers or mobile shortcodes to use. We set out below the details that generally apply to each route of entry to make clear what is involved.
    How much will it cost me to enter a competition?
    • Before you enter one of our competitions on one of our channels, you will always be told clearly how much it will cost you.
    However on many occasions there will be additional charges added by mobile phone or other telephone network operators which obviously we do not control. So if you need to know the total cost you will end up paying, you will need to check whether your telephone network operator will add his charges to ours and what those charges are.
    The costs we currently charge for competitions are as follows:
    Entry by telephone: costs 75p per minute from a BT landline. The average call duration is 2 minutes. Mobile and other network costs may vary.
    • Entry by text: you will be sent 2 text messages (SMS bounce backs) priced at £1 each, totalling £2. You will also be charged your standard message rate. How this works is explained below
    I don't know whether this extra charge applies to this comp. What do others think? Full t&c's are here: http://www.tvterms.co.uk/

    NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D

    Maybe the extra charge is on other comps they have then. Some t&c's are so confusing sometimes!

    I entered myself and so far all I have recieved is a free text back thanking me for my entry. The text I used to enter was charged at standard rate.

    Its worth providing the warning though just in case and then people can make up their minds whether to enter or not.

    Thank you
