When the lady says "please press 1..." press it and it goes through straight away 

Thanks, or if you are using the @ianmurf  15 commas hack, you can reduce it to 12,,,

Thanks, have done that and it’s reduced the call by about 10 seconds. 

Hi.

How far i know dont go lover as 10 seconds because then the call can be not counted. 

Best of luck everybody 🙃

Sorry I don’t understand your reply? It still says “you have entered the competition, good luck”. 

If you enter by text, are they completely separate from phone entries? I mean if you do your maximum phone entries, are you still allowed entries by another route. 

Thanks.

“Even if you get the text saying you’ve entered, your entry might not be valid if your call didn’t fully go through or was too short — like less than 10 seconds.

That’s because the system needs to connect the call, play the full recorded message, and log the entry in their backend.

If your signal drops, or you hang up too quickly, it may not count — even though the system automatically sends the ‘Good luck’ text right away.”

Example "It’s like trying to pay contactless at a shop — it beeps, and you think it worked, but if it didn’t go through on their end, you don’t get the item. Same with these calls: the message feels like confirmation, but the backend still needs the full call for it to count."

The "thanks for entering" message at the end of each call is pretty convincing that the entry has been accepted, but the "You have reached the maximum number of entries" on the 201st call MUST originate in the system's back end and in my opinion proves that ianmurf's short cut works OK.

But pressing 1 a few seconds earlier does not end the call early, not in the same way as the example you give above.

I was just wanted make aware. Even you get the messenger after 201st call doesn't mean you physically didn't call more. Sorry didn't want to make someone mad. I'm new in this and try to share info what can help some one. For those 10 seconds and not make calls close to each other.  That's all.😊

You're alright, hun! I think you have a valid point and it is good to make people aware of possible mistakes...In the end is for everyone's safety!
