Suggestions for Text Competitions, please.

I have credit on a spare SIM which will run out fairly soon and when it does the SIM will be binned. Due to free minutes on another SIM I don't really need the call time so was wondering about using them to enter TEXT competitions which I wouldn't normally enter due to cost or spamming concerns.

Any suggestions on how to fritter away the credit?

    You may as well enter the Muller competition - it only costs 10p a go and lots of people have won a tenner. (I haven't won anything!)

    Text FILL to 80125. Good luck. :)

    not a text comp but wud get you a tenner high street voucher

    you ring 01623 727 700 and answer 3 questions about your shoping habits (using your fone keypad) it is an automatic number and local charge, so you dont talk to anyone and is a local numer. says it starts from 9 am tomorow (tuesday) i just tried to ring but not open yet!

    it says when u finish typing in your answers with your fone you leave your details and they send you £10 high street shopping vouchers. these are what it says they send you www.bonusbond.com

    Sorry everybody. Lots of people have tried this today and it seems that this is the wrong number. Hopefully, when Foxy's online she'll remove this phone number to avoid any more disappointment. :confused:

    You could enter the Take A Break comp? I've checked the T&Cs and it says no purchase necessary so I don't think I will be breaking any conditions by passing the answers on ;) Be quick though - entries must be recieved today (3rd May).

    First you have to register.. Send a text message to 87222 containing:

    TAB REGISTER FULL NAME, HOUSE & STREET, POSTCODE
    eg: TAB REGISTER MRS MARY JONES, 84 MONEYSAVING AVENUE, M53 9SE
    (this text is charged at your normal tariff)

    After you have recieved the confirmation of your registration, text the following, again to 87222:

    TAB 16 SWAP 52 BUMPY AGENT MAGNIFICENCE NESTLE JULIE ANDREWS WORDING BUCKINGHAM PALACE FIESTA RECORDED A DUET ABC HAMPER TROUBLES BRIOCHE
    (this text costs 25p plus your normal tariff)

    Text messages can be upper or lower case, it doesn't matter. The prizes are as follows: 25x£50, 25x£50, Volkswagen Polo, £2500 Big Bonanza, £2500 Big Relax, 2x£500, £100, £500, Makeover for two, £2500 in travel vouchers & cash, £4000 garden makeover, 8 sets of footie tops, 40 spring kits, 3 family sets of duvets & pillows, 5x£100, £1000, Supermarket dash.

    Phew! Need a coffee after all that!
