Glad you like it - I thought the number of surveys was dwindling rather quickly over the past couple of days!

Just wondering what would package people would adv ise in using Optimum contact with skype??? PAYG credits or a contract type thing???

This is something i would be interested in Would have to be skype though as i have a contract with sky already for tv/phone/broadband and phone doesnt include 0845 numbers i dont think. I have a spare business line from the previous tenants thats now unused so if you can make enough out of it i could put it back on with a different company i think.

Almost all my earnings are by doing telephone surveys for Optimum Contact. I do not pretend to make a lot of money but earned just short of £150 in the first four days this week.

:T Nice one, Not bad for 4 days work that mate :beer:

was all set to go for this as Ive done the same thing for a charity earlier in the year - until I now read the phone recording issue will have to find a way around this somehow as it seems like too much of a good opportunity to pass

Am gonna try Pamela for a month and see how it goes for a month in terms of money I make.

Am planning on spending at least 20 hours a week from Monday so fingers crossed it might top my income up an extra 2/300 quid a month!

Finally embarked on my first OC survey about ten minutes ago...

Friendly chap answered the phone, and asked if I could call back at 2pm (bad timing, as lunchtime). Fair enough, so I tried to enter the date / time in the on - screen calendar.

Only to have a message pop up telling me that "Call backs can not be arranged after the cut off date of 31st December"!

I'm assuming that these (Water company) surveys have to be done there and then, with our first call? Or am I too late to do them at all?

It's odd, as on the Bulk Surveys page, it shows that there are 49 surveys left for one type, and about 45 I think for the other type.

I did email OC for further advice

Any pointers would be most appreciated, as I'm all geared up to do this today now!

Cheers,

Sim.

Just had email back from OC. They are very helpful and prompt!

OC confirmed that the 'call back system' had not been updated earlier.

It's now been updated, and so call backs can be arranged until the end of January

Hi, I have been accepted today for the telephone survey work. Unfortunately I am in contract with skytalk (they charge 6p per min for an 0845 number) until 11the March so cannot move providers. Looking at my computer, I cannot see anywhere to plug in a skype headset (i presume it does have to be plugged in). Is it worth me working using sky until I am out of contract and then changing to talk talk? Any advice gratefully received!
