    I have saved one of the main MMAW numbers with the comma/pause/1 trick so I don't have to listen to the call or do anything after dialling. For some reason, I cannot set up the same thing on this additional £300K telephone number - does anyone else have this issue?
    Thanks to all who post competitions.

    Is anyway experiencing the same issue and do you know why it's happening?

    I am happily entering these various phone competitions pressing "Key 1" or "Key 2" where appropriate. 

    Then all of a sudden after a clear run of pressing "Key 1" to enter the competition this is rejected and I receive the same message as if I have pressed "Key 2". 

    I have just had 6 rejections in a row after pressing "Key 1". I have double checked each time to make sure I have definitely pressed "Key 1" and the number 1 is clearly displayed on my phone. I am using an iphone and using the free telephone call option as my mobile provider allows me to make 03 numbers for free as part of my package.  
    Yes I have experienced this occasionally. I think it’s just a glitch.  I normally leave it for 10 minutes or so and then it sorts itself out.  It is annoying though when you’ve had to wait for the whole message only to have to hang up and call again.

    Restarting my phone and leaving it 10mins usually sorts mine out when I've had this issue. Never lasted too long, but I also checked to see if it was peak times like lunch break etc. and left it until after lunch to see if it was working again x
