HI there everyone,

I hope I am posting on the correct thread...I have a quick question though. I have spent the last 2 months or so entering approx 30 - 50 comps a day. I realise that it will take a while for anything to start happening.. However I recently spilt some apple juice on my phone and it no longer works, I havent had access to the telephone number that I put as contact for about a week or so, I have managed to get another one and I am just waiting for it to be delivered...My question is..

IF (and a bit if) I was to win a competition and the organisers keep getting my answerphone, does anyone know if they will keep trying? How long for etc...

Thanks

Sylvia

I dont know how long they will keep trying if they contact you by phone, I have only been informed once by phone that I had won, the rest of the time it is normally by email or just turn up - a thread HERE tells you how the various sites let you know you have won

Very helpful hjb. Thank you.

Anybody know if there's a list anywhere of winning telephone call numbers, so we can weed them out from the mobile sales calls? That would be very useful.

i never give out my correct birthday on comps or freebies- do you think this would ever stop me claiming a prize.i consider this unvital for entering competitions and only give it to who i really have to.also lots comps i entered using my old phone number to stop me getting on phone mailing lists-surely this should not matter??? x has anyone ever had a prize taken away for these trivial matters???

:hello: Everyone,

I have been listening to lots of tv theme tunes from You Tube such as Howards Way,The Colbys,Dynasty etc,I have always loved Howards Way,it brought back memories to me because I used to watch every episode and never missed a programme and the music is great too to listen to.

love and light,

sweetnskint, if they were going to contact you about your prize by phone then I should think you might miss out. They might ring it, not get you and allocate the prize to someone they could get hold of.

sweetnskint, I agree with Zebedeee, I think you may miss some winning calls. I usually put my phone number on comps and rarely have any mailing list type calls. I would recommend that you put your real number on comps but register for the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) - its free and you can find it via google - thats good for preventing unsolicited calls. I also always tick not to be contacted on competitions when given the option.

Some people also have an additional mobile phone that they keep exclusively for comps so any mailing list calls go straight to that. That could be another option for you. You wouldn't want to miss any winning telephone calls.
