How much does it cost the phone companies pay when we hammer out 42 "0330" phone calls every day?? I'm with Lyca with 2 SIMs in a dual SIM phone, paying 1p a month per SIM card, making 84 calls each time. Obviously I haven't won but it must be costing Lyca quite a lot!!

Using more than one number will disqualify you, though not sure how or if they'll find out

How are you only paying 1p/month for a SIM?

That's cheating.

"Entrants can also enter each Draw a maximum of 42 times by calling the phoneline." That's 42 entries per person not per mobile number / SIM.

It's also a bit rich for someone who was suggesting that Bauer were being underhand.
"Sometimes I think they don't always ring someone every day, I think they play a prerecorded failed/"hello" call just to deliberately roll it over to get more entries and more money."

I'm afraid, I agree with gdmoney!!
I'm afraid that people creating ways to cheat or bombard entries via unethical entries, is so wrong. Put this on top of small businesses or wannabe bloggers, entering competitions, as a way of making money. Is it any wonder the wins are so low for some of our members!!!
Good luck to everyone for all your genuine wins

In my defense I genuinely didn't know that if someone had two numbers they can't use both for more calls. In which case I'd happily stick to just one so that if (in the unlikely event) I did win, it would be above board 👍

As you missed out on entering so many days when it was a rollover your total entries will have been less than someone entering the max everyday from one number

Well, yeah, but not a justification. If I'd known it was against the rules, and heard that someone else was doing it I'd be as annoyed as others are

Well, I was thinking we should have an  etiquette  guide on here?
So people either knowingly cheat (but they would anyway!) or we can spell it out what is not ethical? We do this with spelling out some really easy answers/ guides to entry     
As previously said, there will always be wannabe bloggers and/or small businesses using social media as a way to boost income, but for us hobby guys, it is frustrating. Some people have several email addresses for entering, several accounts, multiple phones. For instance I have two instagrams (which are linked and is obvious its still me) I opened it for when I was blocked on one. However, one is being closed the following reasons, No1 too much to manage and 2. mostly completely different ones I enter for some reason.  I have now copped, that most people stick with  one.
Here endeth my lesson for today 
Good luck to all and enjoy what you have and strive for what you want 
Thank you to all who post

BTW Ragdoll. Please do not think I was suggesting you knowlingly cheat

Or no ring tone, or number not recognised …
