    If you do not wish to be contacted by Absolute Radio in the future add NOINFO to the end of your message.

    Just a reminder ;)

    I wonder how many people don't read the full Absolute terms and conditions and send multiple entries. It's a bit naughty with the presenter misleading people saying that "each" text you send will cost 50p plus your standard rate -I know he's talking to the audience, but even so, they have not made it clear and some poor soul could spend the whole hour texting and be disqualified as a result!

    But the text you get back says you can make more than one entry and the full T&C say one entry per person, unless otherwise stated. So I would say you are allowed multiple entries.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change

    I think you are looking at the general competition terms at about/legal/competition_rules.html rather than specifically for skyfall competetion at freebies/competitions/skyfall/terms.html

    as the main say "Only one entry per person is permitted, unless otherwise stated."

    not that I'd say spamming text messages 'worth it' :)
  • You are correct, I missed the "unless otherwise stated" bit, sent my text and got a message back saying "enter again .... " so that's clear then. A mini spam might be worth it for £20K :-)

    hmmm was anyone else listening?? did that sound dodgy to anyone else? I think it is odd that he said to his boss he was going to be late if he didn't know he was going to get the call?
    Top wins in 2018: Trip to Iceland, helicopter ride over london, couples massage, £300 flight from Pringles, trip to Paris, cocktail making class and afternoon tea up the shard. .

  • Nah not really, I imagine most people who entered would make sure they could pick up there phone fast if needed between 9:00 and 9:15 :)
