    I must admit I'll only be entering once as it is quite expensive, but it's also for charity so I don't mind.

    if the good majority was for charity then i'd enter but it only says "an amount from each text'
  • Erm.. so what do they do with the money from texts from Wales and Northern Ireland?????

    It states in the T&C's that 'between 58.2p and 90.7p (dependant on operator)' will go to charity.

    Not sure but I don't think Wales or Northern Ireland can enter (?) :confused: sorry.

    As I say, it is expensive and entirely up to you whether you want to enter or not, just thought I'd post it in case people did. Any small amount for charity is better than nothing and I can spare £1.50 (or whatever it will be with standard rate added) and with a lot of people doing it then they might get a fair few quid.
    Bygones.

    They are not getting at you Isitenough. My reaction is exactly the same. Why do they push it so far. I am sure that they would get more entries if the amount was less.
    I always used to buy the little charity badges, £1, I didn't mind, and would ofter buy 2 or 3, but then one of the charities charged £1.50 for them, I didn't buy any of those ~ probably a mindset on my part, but I really objected to the fact they were playing on the charity bit.

    It's cool, really.
    I also buy the pin badges sometimes, as the kids like collecting them, and yes, £1.50 is a tad over expensive, but for one go and as it was a comp I didn't mind.
    I just thought i'd post it and let people decide for themselves whether to enter or not, that's all.
    Bygones.
