Does anybody know if you can enter this completion if you have won over £500 on TakeaBreak if I cant enter can my partner enter instead of me using my phone no as he only has pay as you go phone !

If you have won £500 or more from Bauer you cannot enter other Bauer competitions for 6 months. You partner can still enter but will also need to answer the phone

I think the tel number has to be different, though.

Can he use my phone no to enter

It states this in the T&C's under ITEM 6: ROUTES OF ENTRY AND COSTS in the Phone section.

"All entrants must enter on their own behalf and may not enter on behalf of anyone else. If we later become aware that the person who played the competition was not the entrant themselves, we will disqualify this entrant and no prize will be payable to any persons involved."

The mobile number must be that individual's number, which is why they don't allow landlines. It's not supposed to be a shared device, but rather a mobile per individual.

I would assume your mobile contract is in your name? If so, your husband can't win via your phone, I would guess it would be void and you wouldn't receive the money.

Happened to a few people who answered their partner's phone on their behalf - they never got the money. Has to be your phone, you who enters your phone into the competition(s), and you who answers your phone.

Thank you for your reply that  makes sense, l will wait until the six months are up then start entering again.

The person who enters must be the person who answer the phone and "Entrants must have permission from the bill payer before entering the Competition." I would take it that as long as Fred Bloggs enters and Fred Bloggs answers that's fine (there is no requirement for name matches on a mobile or landline contract).

I'm entering from an Apple phone and have a little tip which makes calling that many times much much quicker! You can make two calls at once and swap between the calls to press 1 when it asks you to confirm the number you are calling from. Sure Android models do the same?

Thanks. This is a revelation.

I found that it's better to start the second call 8 to 10 seconds after the first. Then you are just about right for going back to the second call to hear the end of your phone number and press 1. It gives time for the first call to close down and for you to press Hold to rejoin the second call.

Any quicker than that and you miss the "Press 1" message on the second call. But that might just be me being slow.

Can someone explain (In simple terms) how to make two calls at once on an iPhone? I would love to be able to advantage of getting through the 150 calls quicker but don't know how to.

Thank You Comping_Rich 

I'll give that a try.

I found a mini hack for making the calls by accident earlier. If you press "2" when the call connects it skips ahead and starts reading out your phone number so you can save about 10 seconds of waffling at the beginning. Not a massive amount of time but if you're entering  150 times it adds up

I thought this closed yesterday 6th - or is phone entry a day later?
