    I got an unknown call yesterday while I was at work. I left phone with OH incase it rang but he decided to shut it away in a drawer. :(

    :eek: I trust your OH has been suitably punished :rotfl:

    Hope yours turns out to be ITV verifying your address to send out your cheque, so now they will just send it regardless. I have a feeling mine might have been a marketing call.

    Oh no how frustrating. Hope its something good and they ring back in the morning x

    I think I may have to get a comping phone sounds like a great idea I have just been putting my normal number down.

    I had a call yesterday ... one of those recorded ones, 'do you have debts we can help you'

    been comping 18 months now and that was my first junk call .. I am impressed .. but I am hoping its now not the first of many :(

    fingers crossed yours is for a nice win and they will call you back later
    A heap big thank you to everyone who posts the comps, your all stars!

    Eon called me yesterday and I thought I'd been so careful! The woman said I'd entered a competition but was very vague about which one.

    Nothing here....but can you please tell me more about the coming phone concept? I'm getting a new phone for my birthday which will free up my old one.....do I just need to get a new sim card for it ?(payu as you go or something?) And if so, do I literally just pay as you go or do I need to pay line rental or anything?

    thanks, and hope your caller calls back with good news :)

    I had a phone call from Eon, "Hi, you entered a competition to win £1000." I all of a sudden got very excited "yes" "well this is a courtesy call as part of the t&c just to give you a quote" .. gutted!

    Hope yours was much better xx

    I had a missed call yesterday on my comping phone. As they didn`t call back I assumed it was a sales call.
