    Isn't calling more than 42 times a breach of their terms though?
    It says in the terms somewhere that they can give additional entries at their discretion, so I just keep calling until the system tells me I have reached my maximum entries.
    That’s what I do as well.

    It's likely the case that only 42 entries were made and that some of the call attempts weren't completed as valid entries.

    It was 5 for 1 on the text entries, on Friday and they usually give extra phone entries when they do that. Not sure how they calculate how many extra phone entries you get though as it's obviously not 5 for 1 there too unless they add them without us having to phone in.

    I definitely got 55 "you have been entered..." confirmations last Friday.

    Same here! None of my call attempts were fails / invalid

    Yeah I saw that and I got 55 entries on Friday; my response was more addressing the post yesterday that said:

    "Yes, it’s happening more with me as well! 

    It took 56 calls to reach my entry limit yesterday. As a good few of them wouldn’t accept me pressing 1."

    It sounds like some of the calls weren't being accepted if it didn't register pressing 1.

    I have had a few occasions where the first or second time I pressed 1 was not registered, but we do have a window of quite a few seconds and the most I have had to try was 4 times, before getting the "Thanks. You have been entered into the competition...."
