LizB62 said:Also be aware that they've reinstated the bit in the Ts and Cs that was there before that prohibits overlapping calls to the comp entry line:
The use of any automated entry software or any other mechanical or electronic means that permits any person to enter any Competition repeatedly, or make multiple simultaneous entries, is prohibited.
That bit lost me!!
But does it mean there's a risk of entries being ignored if I redial as soon as I've hung up?

No, you can’t have more than one active call.cw18 said:LizB62 said:Also be aware that they've reinstated the bit in the Ts and Cs that was there before that prohibits overlapping calls to the comp entry line:

Exactly what @sully1311 said - it's possible to start the first call, then start a second call and have them overlapping.cw18 said:LizB62 said:Also be aware that they've reinstated the bit in the Ts and Cs that was there before that prohibits overlapping calls to the comp entry line:

It saves a lot of time but it's not allowed and yes - they can tell if you have two calls running at once.
If you end one call before starting the next, then they're not overlapping and that's safe

I didn’t even know you could have 2 calls on the same phone running at the same time!LizB62 said:

@Abbafan1972 Not all phones have it. It's a conference call facility to allow you to have a 3 way call between you and 2 other people. Some people (including me) have been using that feature to call the MMAW number twice at the same time which cut down the overall time needed to make the calls.That's immaterial now as they have cottoned on to people doing that and have said that making "multiple simultaneous entries is prohibited."But as they have cut the number of phone numbers from 42 to 20, it shouldn't take any longer before you get the "you have reached your maximum.." message.

Regarding overlapping calls, just to confirm. Once I’ve confirmed my entry, I have to hang up? Or I can click and start another call as soon as my entry is confirmed?0
