Broken phone

GeeBee38

My phone is broken and i don't know when i'll be able to get a new one, if i was to win a comp that i have already entered, do you think they would email if they can't get me via phone?

Thanks

Some might and some might not - it's anyone's guess!

Thanks, Bluebella, i'll have a break from comping i think, until i can get a new phone

My comping phone is an ancient basic pay as you go. You can pick them up for under a tenner, or probably get one for nothing on freecycle if you ask. Could you not just put your SIM card into something like that?

I could thanks, i'll see what i can do

Lots don't require a phone number and I have probably only been notified by phone about once for every hundred or so wins.

This ^^^^ :T

Hopefully you'll get it sorted soon, GeeBee38, or at least be able to use a 'pre-loved' handset from a friend or family member (as purple45 suggested above) until you get a new phone

You'd really only need to worry about those comp entries that ONLY ask for a name & telephone number

My comping mobile cost £12 from Asda

I put £5 credit a month on it and ring my hubby/son once a week so the 120 day non use does not kick in

Three years of comping and a yeair few wins every year, I have only been phoned twice. Once was for cash and the other for tickets.

You could just enter the email only ones like mentioned above

Just be aware that if you are a customer with Three and you put your SIM into a no-frills, 2G only phone, a) you're not likely to not get a signal in a lot of places now, and b) Three will ask you to place your SIM into a 3G(/4G) phone as per their terms and conditions which allows them to stop the SIM from working.
