    Remember when someone posted a tip to add commas +1 to the phone number, so we didn't have to press anything? It isn't working for me this week. I've tried reducing the number of commas and adding, but I can't work out what to do. Anyone got an idea what to do? Thanks.

    Ya wee angel. Thank you. I edited number and now it works. Don't know why. The only difference was we were dialing a different phone number. But for some reason, it stopped doing the final bit of the call, without me actually pressing 1. Maybe was a blip, but anyway. Am grateful. It's the only way I will do them now. Would give up on it if had to listen to it and respond 350 times XXX

    They have slowed down their automated response. It used to work with 12 commas, but it now needs a minimum of 13. It also works with 14 or 15 commas.

    Hi new to this forum but not the competition! 
    Do people really call up to 350 times? How? It must take hours. I get fed up listening to the recording after 5 goes! No wonder I've never won owt!! 😂

    Save the number in your phone contacts like this (03434156317,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1) and turn the phone sound down or off. then just press the dial button again and again until you have entered enough for that day. I usually spread 350 calls over several days.

    It's probably me being a bit silly here but I can't see how to add comas to a phone number to save it in my contacts? My phone keypad does not offer me the option to add ,,,,

    The exact way will depend on what phone you have, but there should be buttons that switch from letters to numbers to characters etc. Look for one of those.

    I have an older iPhone SE. On the keypad I have numbers 1 - 9. and the * and # keys. There are letters under 2 - 9 and a + under 0. I don't even know how to add letters but I definitely can't see an option to add ,,,,

    Although it's probably just me and I feel it must be staring me in the face so to speak!
