    Ive never entered text comps as they seem to cost a bit and have had bad experience in the past of premium text messaging services

  • I remember someone winning a HD ready LCD TV that I posted from Dixons a couple of months back. One of those annoying unique bid text comps.

    won an ipod shufle with a text comp havemt recieved it yet though
  • I quite like text comps as I've won a fair bit from them.
    An x-box 360, an i-pod, and two i-pod shuffles. (all over a couple of years mind you)

    I know they cost money but my reasoning is that I do these instead of doing the lottery, and I think I've got better odds of winning as well.:D

    I'm currently trying to win a laptop from morrisons.
  • I don't tend to do text comps as I can't afford to :/

    I just do a few of the cheap ones - the ones that cost about the same as a stamp.

  • I've done quite well out of texts comps.

    Since Feb i've won a Sony PSP, 4 iPod Shuffles, £150 HMV Vouchers, a years supply of Beverly Hills toothpaste, a Wii game & a few smaller prizes. I tend to stick to the cheaper ones but have entered a few premium rate ones if they catch my eye (the HMV vouchers, toothpaste and Wii game all came from £1.50 entry ones).

    Currently trying for £100 Superdrug giftcards, Halfords Vouchers & Morrisons Laptops on daily entry cheapy ones. :D
