    [DELETED BY FORUM TEAM]

    @determinedwinner If you look back over this chat thread or the main thread you will see that it isn't always Vodafone voicemail messages. There have been O2 voicemail messages recently too.

    @RagdollPigeon I am assuming that the admins deleted your post because they didn't want MSE getting into any legal trouble by allowing forum members to spout utterly baseless theories about the competition being rigged.

    Is your belief that the organisers are being underhand so firmly held that you have stopped entering? I thought not.

    @RagdollPigeon It might be good to familiarise yourself with the forum rules at

    Morning all. 

    One of my calls wouldn’t go through - it wouldn’t take my response to confirm my number, so I had to hang up. It hasn’t happened again yet. I don’t know anyone else has had the same issue?

  • There's no way they would conspire to fake calls, they'd bring down the whole business if they did and possibly end up in prison for fraud.

    I very occasionally get this, where the other end doesn't seem to "hear" the beep (DTMF tone) - it's usually just a one-off for me and all the other calls are fine.

    I had same issue a couple of times last night as well as the audio being so quiet and crackly that I could barely hear it, though it did accept when I pressed 1 at the appropriate point in the call.

    Yes, with so many people entering, I’m not surprised there are issues sometimes.

  • If they feel like giving my number a call tomorrow I promise I will answer it within five rings and say "Make me a winner". Well, as long as Sky keeps me connected, that is...

    I have already ring-fenced at least 10% of any win for worthy causes.
