    Hi,
    Sorry for being Bumpy ;), just wondering... I entered pretty soon after both comps were first posted today and have had no text from them or any indication (as yet) that I may have been charged- does anyone know if everyone charged will have been texted or will some of only find out when our bills come (or we check them online)?
    It seems weird that it wouldn't be the same for everyone but I definitely entered before others who have had texts (and before the stations were notified and acknowledged the problem). Anyone know from last time? Cheers in advance :)

    Last time it appeared as though customers of a few particular mobile operators did not get charged. It is possible the mobile operator may detect that you haven't sent a text so they reject the reply which would cost you £1.50. Alternatively there may be a setting on your account that disallows "premium rate" texts altogether. Not enough people replied in the thread for any pattern to be deduced.

    The refund process last time was that they sent everyone who had been wrongly charged a text. You needed to reply by email with your name/address/mobile number. The refund was by cheque that arrived 2 weeks and 1 day after the day of the competition.
