£££££££


ITS BACK!!!

Just to let you know i would imagine like last time you have to listen to the radio as stated in T&C as if your name is called you have 30 mins only to call the Studio on 03301231215 national rate call (i thinks)

- Enter once using the online form
- If your bill is over £200, then listen out for your name on the radio, and call in within the timescale to win 0330 123 1215. Names are called out throughout the day on a regular schedule (it doesn't matter if its been claimed or not). The winning names are only called out online and not available on the Absolute website.
- If your bill is under £200, then in addition to the above way of winning, they will also do hourly announcements on the website so you need to check there too (or just come to this thread and hope someone has updated it with the new names (only one website win per day, once its been claimed for the day, its over).

WARNING very adictive too

    Just wondering if this has started and if the name/s called out would be posted on this thread? Thanks.

    I don't mind having a listen if I know when it'd be announced.
