Is there a quicker way to enter by phone it seems to be taking me about 40 seconds per call

If you press any key as soon as you hear the woman start talking, it skips the first section. Again, press 1 as soon as she's finished reading out your number, and the call time is down to about 25 seconds. I do them one after the other so it takes around 20 minutes to do 42 entries.

With the week-long one, you've got 8 days to do 176, that's 22 entries per day or just over 10 minutes a day!

This does cut the time down but sadly can't be used in conjunction with the auto 1 hack at the end which I like to use.

Thanks all i don't mind the wait but wondered if it could ill be getting all my entrys for today and then all 176 entrys on 2 phones for the 250k next draw

It's 176 entries per person not per number so if you enter the maximum number on 2 separate phones you will be breaking the rules and could have the prize withdrawn.

From FAQs.

"As per our terms and conditions, there will be an entry limit – per entrant – for each competition. If you are found to be entering more than the entry limit on multiple devices, you may be found to be in breach of the terms and conditions and could be disqualified."

This is known as "cheating"

A summary of the latest round:
60 draws, 30 lucky people won £3,856,000, 30 lost out on £3,676,000 giving a total pot of an amazing £7,532,000!
9 very unfortunate people answered saying "Hello" (although it is thought that one said "Go away!") and the total number of free calls possible was 2,692 - phew!!!
Good luck to all in the next round of MMAW and the big Easter draw next week.

What do you mean by the auto 1 hack at the end and why can't you use it in conjunction?

I assume it's done deliberately to put people off (not keen MSErs!) having too many free entries.

When it used to be free to enter online, it was relatively quick & easy to get all your entries in fairly quickly.

I do wonder why they don't put a much smaller limit on the number of phone entries, as after all they would prefer people to enter via one of the paid options.

They have to give the same amount of free entries as they do paid. That’s why it goes up whenever there are bonus entries via paid routes and why the 250k comp has so many entries.

Not sure why this would be cheating as it would be 2 people entering. Just sounded like i would be using 2 phones to do it. I don't have the time for that
