Do you get a text reply instantly, or does it take a few minutes to come through?ANEABC1 said:Very strange, I do not know if it happened to anybody else but for this Make Me A Winner competition I entered today on my iphone, my time of entry 15:53, yet it shows as being entered at 15:58. And a few days ago I texted my entry at 15:58 yet the time next to my entry showed 16:03 which if that is the time of the competition means I paid as was not even entered.
What is odd is even my ipad clock is set up automatically and reads the same time as on my iphone and it is only with Make me a Winner competition (not Cash register one or other text competitions I enter on occasions) that the time of entry is around 5 minutes later that the time of entry showing on my iphone.
hmm...
If the latter, it could be that the signal in your house is poor and the text isn't being sent properly for a few minutesComping wins 2022: 115 (£12,109)

For Make Me a Winner as I sent the text at 15:53 I still have not received the text confirmation I was entered, sometimes I get the confirmation the following day.
However with Cash register I tend to get an instant reply text confirmation and the time I enter by text is the same clock time on my iphone unlike with Make me a winner which gives me a 5 minutes later time of entry.
I wonder if I am the only one with this problem. My mobile network is pretty slow but I only have ‘problems’ with Make me a Winner”, that is why I think it is strange.
Thank you.
