    just had a look for some instant win comps but can't seem to find any besides the samsung one! I remember in previous years around this time there has been like - live search etc etc, so am I missing something? :P

    bet this is the effect of our lovely recession!

    There are these:
    msnxmas - flights
    Carling - football ticket, glasses
    Peroni - just coasters left
    Vodkat - think its a T shirt etc now.
    There is the sthelier one too - think link is in the vodkat one

    No cash sums unfortunately ;)

    not doing it this year (done it past 2 and felt it was a huge waste of time lol)

    but tried it just now and it is not loading for me either. So must be down - perhaps they will fix it tomorrow.

    The site isn't responding to pings so it looks like the site has been taken offline no idea why you are getting INFOWEB web though

    You could try resetting your IP stack and see if that resolves your problem

    Go to the Start Menu, type cmd and right click or (Ctrl + Shift and hit Enter), and select "Run As Administrator"

    Type the following commands, each followed by pressing enter.
      • ipconfig /flushdns
      • nbtstat -R
      • nbtstat -RR
      • netsh int reset all
      • netsh int ip reset
      • netsh winsock reset
    Best of Luck :)

    Morning! :santa2:

    A quick question about WTC's if that's okay? I know many comapnies notify winners by email, or prizes just seem to turn up :) but if a company chooses to phone your mobile instead and you don't answer it, will they leave a message or just try the next person and you've missed out?

    I've been signed off work and have been told by my doctor not to contact work during that time (other than to let them know how I'm doing) and to be honest I don't want to speak to work anyway. My work number displays on other phones as 'Private Number' so I have no idea who it is and have decided to simply ignore numbers that aren't stored in my phone

    But then I'm worried about missing a WTC if they don't leave voice mails?

    Thank you

    It depends on the promoter, some will leave a message or call you back others will move on to the next person available and give them the prize instead.
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
