    I have sent 1 or 2 texts for this over the last few days as well as entering by phone, but haven’t had a confirmation text back, so don’t know if my entries have been counted. 
    As this is a money saving forum, can I ask why you pay to enter?
    Just to clarify, I only send literally 1 or 2 texts a month if that (only when it’s a big amount). I always enter by phone as well, as it’s free for me. 

    But of course, if I want to send the odd text entry, that’s my choice. 
    That's completely fair. I've seen someone on Twitter spending hundreds a month on it but doesn't enter for 'free'.

    If someone didn't enter for free then online with 20 entries for £10 would be the way to go - but if they were entering for free then adding a paid entry or two by any method makes very little difference to the chances of winning (and there are probably far better odds available elsewhere without a free route than the possible odds of winning MMAW)

    Anyone else having problems entering by phone today?  It keeps bombing out without connecting and only about one in four is connecting.  I've tried two different phones on two different networks.
    Yep, taking a lot of tries to get any entry, used different numbers too.

    I've been having this issue for the past few days. I couldn't get all of my entries in yesterday because I was only able to connect 1 call in about 15, if I was lucky. Having the same issue today too.

    Not been an issue for me before, but was yesterday and quite bad today.

    Update: Took 130 calls to get 32 entries, majority of those just instantly disconnected. Used 7 different numbers. I was adamant with it being the last day, but I'm in a bit of a mood now 😂 a slice of cake will do the trick, I think!

    I used 6 different numbers intermittently & some didn’t connect or work correctly but managed maximum 
    I thought maximum would have increased as its last day
