Would somebody be able to clarify what time they are likely to call please?
I always assumed - and have read on a previous cash register post - that they made the call between 3:30pm and 3:40pm and that the call was made live on air?
I have since read that they actually call between 3:00pm and 3:10pm?
Thanks in advance!0 -

e.g. every day this week you get a text at 10am to say Win 50k, you text back, then get the default "enter again and we'll give you two more". People think they're getting two paid and one free entry for each draw, but by the time lines close Monday they've actually entered 15 times (assuming 3x weekday) into one draw when they thought they were entering five different times. - previously the six entry limit would have stopped you after the second day, and people realise what's happening3 -

Due to work commitments and only getting limited breaks, I was actually taking a break at 3:30pm, immediately turning my phone on and then having it close by until 3:45pm! I have been doing this for around a year!
How foolish of me!!

Jazmeen, I agree with you, if Comp had started 6am Monday 6th then it would not have confused me! Luckily comping rich post helped me.On another note, after following comping rich instructions for auto call, I set my iPhone to 0secs and this morning I received a no caller ID. I was just away from my phone and it was locked. I asked the lady that called, and she said it rang for one ring and picked up and she rang me from a landline.2

On an iPhone you can set your phone to automatically answer a call, this is an accessibility feature if you struggle with using a touch screen.
To turn on auto answer on an iPhone go to:-
Settings > General > Accessibility > Call Audio Routing
You will have a number of options, in my case Automatic, Bluetooth Headset and Speaker. Underneath these options is Auto-Answer Calls, click on that and then you can turn auto answer on or off, when you turn this on it will set a default time of 3 seconds for when the phone will answer. You could reduce this down to 0 seconds or even 1 if you wished.I believe you can also set up auto answer with an android phone but not sure how to do this.2 -
Hi all,
I tried the auto answer thing and set it to 0 secs and speaker phone. My hubby called me and it did answer but it kept getting cut off straight away and he couldn't hear anything when I tried to speak to him. Tried it more than once and I think the one time it went straight to voicemail . I've turned it off now. Not sure if I was doing something wrong?Striving to clear the mortgage before it finishes in Dec 2028 - amount currently owed - £26,322.670 -

Presenter says it was 1 full ring half of second ring, another half ring and it would have been £30,000 won.Gent says will use cash for deposit for house, presenter says he could buy a sofa and an American fridge freezer.7
