    No mention of a question definitely ! Just text EURO TO 88291. T&C's may be wrong given they just say 5 radios to give away.

    It won't be the first time the BBC have used old t&c's and rehashed them for a new comp and got it wrong.

    Maybe there is no question and those t&cs are from an old or different comp? I just googled so they could be wrong!

    too many comps..not enough time!

    Just to add - Jeremy Vine definitely states 100 DAB radios to give away! No question (just txt EURO per above comments)

    Friday's 'giveaway' will be advertised on Simon Mayo's show, according to Jezza :D

    I entered the dab radio give away on Radio 2 last Thursday I think it was the Ken Bruce show, he 100% said they were giving 100 radios away and he did not ask any questions just text euro to 88291 so I did and had two missed calls on my mobile from an unidentifiable caller but a message was left from a Vicky Galvin on Friday morning (telephone number 07909 626335) claiming to be from Radio 2 telling me that I was a winner of a Dab radio and needed my postal details so I obviously gave them to her feeling quite happy that I had won, However after reading today about the multiple answers to a question that was never asked on the show I am beginning to think I have been scammed ( not by Radio 2) but this number that I called back seems to be on of these numbers that cost a fortune when you call them back which I did. Apparently the winners are to be published tomorrow after mid day. If anyone has had the same experience from the same caller please post it here.

    Well done Willdow :T ... what a lovely win.

    I have been driving home from Scotland to NE England so I haven't heard a thing about today.... so anyone know when we can enter please and if there is a question or just text a word. (Biker Chick, did you mean Wednesday is on Simon Mayo?? Or Friday.... I'm easily confused you know ! )

    The BBC has used old t&c's before on more than one occasion.

    Good Luck Everyone, hope some of us can be as lucky as Willdow.

    Thanks as always for sharing everyone. :beer:
