Makes you underwhelmed calling all them times!

The vast majority of entries are almost certain to come from the pay routes - this week a half price offer would get 350 entries for £25 plus 50 free entries to win a Mercedes all in less than 2 minutesjanE1956 said:just listened and he had never entered before wonder how many he did or did he pay?0 -

Might be a stupid question but always good to check when putting the effort of calling 350 times, but if I tried to call more than 350 times I don't get disqualified do I?0
