    Usually just one, but for a big one recently, where the prize was £250,000, I entered on my mobile and the home phone and got DH to enter on his phone too.

  • Just my mobile. Don't give my landline number out to people and I am never in the house during working hours anyway so I'd be constantly fretting I'd missed that big ITV win all the time if I did.

  • For the really big ones I make my partner enter as well though with his own mobile number.

    I enter using my home phone and 2 mobiles.
    Plus my mum enters using her home phone and mobile as well.

    If either of us won we would share it with the other.

    Just one number for me - haven't got the patience.
    Mar Wins :- £2 GfK Media


    Best Win of 2019 - Forest Holiday :)
  • Just my mobile and I groan if it's a 6 entries per phone number comp rather than 3 per phone. I'm very much a last-minute-end-date comper because I don't have a lot of time so I would rather spend my time entering comps that I have a better chance of winning. I quite often skip the ITV ones altogether unless it's a life-changing amount of money.....

    I only use my mobile and landline. Technically I could use my husband's and son's mobiles - I know people do this to get extra chances - but a) I think it's wrong to enter in other people's names, and b) IF either of them were to get a winning call, chances are they would never be able to answer it, as they have their phones turned off when in work / school. So I just use my own two, and hope for the best!
