The "Up to 15 paid entries per phone number" applies to phone, text and online entries here:
"PRTS Phone - up to fifteen (15) paid entries per phone number... SMS text – up to fifteen (15) paid entries per phone number... Paypal entries: up to fifteen 15 paid entries per phone number provided... Post – " no limit specified here but can we assume 29 in total as per general T&Cs?
So you'd need to be using two different phone numbers per entry method including two different phone numbers for postal entries in order to get the full 29 postal entries. Which is unexpected.

It's really a limit per person per entry route as use of more than one number per entry route can result in all the entries being discarded under the "Manipulation of services" part of the general T&Cs.7.2.3 there has been any activity which the Promoter and the producers of the programme consider is designed to unfairly influence the interactive service and/or provide an unfair advantage to the voter or entrant including without limitation use of automated or semi-automated calling technology (such as auto-diallers) or other automated technology; or the making or disguising of multiple entries or votes by an individual entrant using multiple different phone numbers (or other details on which limits on number of entries or votes are based).
7.3 If we have reason to believe that an individual entrant to our competitions or prize draws has made 30 or more entries (or such other level as set out in the interaction information) using different phone numbers (or other details on which limits on number of entries are based) from any one entry platform then the Promoter will treat this as an attempt to unfairly influence the0 -

The more I read the T&Cs the more I change my mind as to what they are intending. For ITV comps it appears you can use one telephone number for all 29 entries by post, as these are not "paid" entries and not subject to the 15 limit per phone number per route. Which could be made a bit clearer... I've been using two numbers as a precaution, then sticking to both limits just in case!

After emailing ITV over the last few days, it looks like you can use 1 number to make 15 paid entries by phone, 15 paid entries by text, 15 paid online entries via paypal, 15 paid online entries via direct to mobile billing and unlimited postal entries. For some reason they don't mention that postal entries are unlimited in the T&Cs or on the entry page so unless you've asked someone at ITV, I'm not sure how you'd find that out.
Using 2 numbers to get 30 or more entries via any entry route would not be allowed.
I've changed how the entry limits are displayed in my T&C sections.0 -

They appeared to have changed T&Cs for subsequent comps to make it clearer that the rules about using extra phone numbers to get more entries applies to the PAID entry routes. While not explicitly stating that this does not apply to the postal route as an "unpaid" route, the fact that they do now say "unlimited postal entries" in some cases, read in conjunction with "paid entries" for the 29 limit, does suggest that postal entries can be made with one telephone number for as many entries as you wish.
Still blooming ambiguous though...!
