Had at call at 2125 from 0345 605 1062 on my mobile. I ignored it but then Googled it. It was Heart FM, I called them back and they told me that they were ringing to tell me I had won £1000 but because I didn't answer they had to move on. I am absolutely gutted! I have save that number on my phone as Heart now, perhaps you should all do the same to avoid a very costly mistake!!

So sorry - what a shame
Would never except them to call that time.
Hope you have a great win to make up for it soon - in the meantime, here's a dubious hug :grouphug:"If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you. "

Gutted for you too, I hope something else comes along soon to take away the pain. Thanks very much for posting the number, I have added it to the contacts on my Batphone in case I get that call in the future.0

If they are moving on then the message would just be to say sorry you have lost out on £1,000 - which would be a bummer for people who don't call back missed numbers and so would otherwise have been happy never knowing.0 -

A similar thing happened to me with Kiss radio, I potentially won a holiday and I did actually answer the phone but in the wrong way - you had to say a certain phrase and I didn't say it I just said hi, and then the presenter said I'm sorry I can't offer you the holiday.
I did exactly what you have done - saved the number.
I'm sorry you missed out, it's gutting but maybe something better is destined to come your way instead.0 -
Ouch!
That must hurt. Hope the comping fairy is watching and taking pity on you.
Something good will come your way hopefully!
Good luck!
