    Aw sorry you missed your prize rukia2004 :( It is annoying when you get a missed call. I got an 01803299100 number but when i checked whocallsme.com it is from an annoying marketing company. I put their number on ignore in my mobile so they rang house phone so told them i was underage!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!
  • I hate withheld numbers because it could be a comp, a stalker (I have anxiety and I get a little paranoid when I don't know who's calling) or the nurse checking in to see how I'm doing. So I'm always sat there fretting about what it was, if it was important... blah blah blah.

  • I'm just wondering...if you have an answering machine, do they ever leave a message on your answering machine with a number on which you could call them back or do they just draw someone else's name out of the hat?
  • I had an unknown caller on my mobile yesterday at around 5:45pm, when I answered, no one spoke to me!! now that's annoying lol

    and I have been wondering the same thing - anyone know the answer?

    When I have had missed calls from comps they have never left a voicemail message but luckily they have called back, I would think that is because they need to verify who you are before telling you that you had won. If they dialled the wrong number for example and left a voicemail then someone else may claim the prize. HTH

    Received my 50p cheque from the Capri-Sun people today. The cashier at Halifax couldn't stop giggling :o
