No, £1.50 cost is high enough

Hi.I know this should strictly be in the postal/text section.I have posted it in there but given the high end prizes on offer & the cheapish cost to enter I thought I would post it here.I know a lot of us ,myself included, very rarely go in the text/postals area.
If this is wrong please let me know & I'll pm a Bg to move it.

I was going to quote someone but wasn't sure which valid argument to choose. I do understand all your points but I would just like to mention that the motivation for a lot of people to come to these boards are not just to make/save money but to get support and advice to help themselves out of debt in a time of desperation. One reason some people get into debt is because they are easily tempted by offers or chances to win etc. Not everyone has the discipline of many others to give themselves rules such as 'not to enter texts over 50p' or to 'top up a certain amount a week and only use that' - like some of you obviously highly organised sorted people (that is not meant in a nasty way but in admiration!). I understand that everyone has a responsibility for their own actions but I do think £2 is very expensive but also very tempting to spend on the remote chance of winning that dream prize. I really hope I haven't offended - I think you are all brill and thank you for your posts :A:A

I'm much the same Jodestar.I went in the text area in the past but was put off by all the £1.50 entry costs.I am on a fixed package with Vodafone & like it when the bills are the same.
I hope everyone is OK with it posted on the main board but it seems a shame to miss out on it as I understand that if you are on an inclusive text package each text is only 12p extra.

I think that there is a very small fee on them but seems a small price to pay.Good luck all.
