    Hi.
    Goes anyone know about itv? Because i couldn't find anything about it here.

    Also, if some companies contact you by phone, and you miss the call, do you lose the prize, or do they ring you back?

    apologies if this has already been posted!!!!

    Am sure itv are by phone for the big money at least:D though I am yet to receive a phone call from them:D


    Think companies will probably try a few times but I guess at some point they will give up and move onto the next person:confused:

    FULL HOUSE and CENTURY RADIO - just turns up too!

    I would imagine if it's only small items such as dvd's, they just turn up but big items such as a large ammount of money or a car...surely they would inform you first??

    am sure the very big prizes like itv and gmtv etc will be by phone, some may be by other but with such a high value Id imagine phone then follow up with letter

    it seems to vary from company to company whether they let you know you have won or just send the prize

    Thanks for this reply, i have yet to win any comp, let alone an itv one! even though i have been comping since october!
    Its quite reassuring that prizes can just turn up one day when you are least accepting it!
    Anyway, i just asked if they phone, as i always give my old moby number to comps, and that phone always stays at home! i never give my new number, as I'm afraid of companies/scammers ringing me in awkward situations like while driving, in meetings, in the middle of a queue in the supermarket.:naughty:

    Also companies ringing me on premium rate numbers that kill you credit in afew short seconds!
