So ITV are re-introducing an online entry route...

...but charging the same £1.50 premium rate as the text & phone entries to use it.

Should I continue to post those threads in the Post, phone & text sub-board?

:O Oh poo, got all excited then!

As it's under the spending limit I'd post them on main, but put the cost in the title and in bold.

(Mind you, folk seem to ignore the huge "Do not expire" warning on Puzzler and Take a Break.)

If the free entry route remains postal then they should probably still posted in that section.

I am probably being dense here, but if it is online entry, exactly how do you pay the £1.50?

Is it just like ordering something from a website and you choose to pay by paypal or something?

Edit
So you have to enter your mobile number.
You get a 4 digit pin code via sms which you have to enter on the site.
Then you get the following screen;



So it looks like you get 6 entries for the same cost as 5 entries via sms.

Maybe post in both with a note to say it's posted in both. I guess duping isn't an issue in this case?

They will probably make more money from web entry as they will not have the phone/mobile network fees to cover for the premium rate numbers they use.

Yes. The other entry methods haven't changed.

I'd say leave it in postals. I'm sure I read somewhere that the "free" entry (or cheapest at least) had to be posted. You could always do as others do and add the web entry at the bottom.


This is why we need a "purchase / payment" thread.
