Calls from Capital radio

Options
I have had 3 missed calls today at 16:24, 16:25 and 16:26 from 02074848958. I googled the number and found that it is Capital radio. I've entered several of their competitions. I'm worried that they won't call back again.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Are they likely to call back again? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    I won with them a few months ago and got a letter saying they had been trying to phone me and gave me a number to call back. I had no missed calls like you though so don't know what happened with their calls.I do think some comps from the radio stations have it in their terms that if you don't answer after so many calls they pick a new winner hopefully this isn't the case with you and they will contact you again.

    This one from Capital recently ended

    and has this in the T&C's

    7. All Entrants selected to play will be required to talk to the presenters and a call will be recorded with the presenter/s and played on-air. If the caller doesn’t answer their phone, is driving at the time of the call and is unable to pull over, or cannot continue the call for any reason, the call may be terminated and another Entrant selected at random.
    Yes, I know there is no "R" in the word dream in my username - it was setup in memory of my grandson :A

    I cannot remember which one it was but a recent one specifically mentioned in the T&C's they would ring 3 times (then move on) - doesn't mean that was your one, they will either call back or not - only Capital know for sure.

    If its one of the cash prizes they call and move on if no answer as they have to record a live call.
