Oh I won a bottle of coke!

It was that competition where you text the word boots to 82100.

I got a text back congratulating me and it said to reply with my name and add - but whenever I reply it says 'sending failed' :(

  • I am on O2 & had this problem, instead of REPLYING try starting a new text with the details they need & then sending to the number 82100. That worked for me, I've won 5 bottles of coke & a £10 voucher.

    It wouldn't work as a new text either. Eventually I managed to send it but only my house number and post code and that worked.

    I had to type in the 82100 number manually rather than automatically replying to the number stored in my phone.

    Well done anyway:D
