Very frustrating for those with inclusive BT calls that they are not accepting free entry via a landline.  Under phone entry they don't appear to make it clear that a mobile is required.

Can someone link to the actual competition thread please as I've searched (and you know what search is like here!) and can't find it!

Ah alas my phone doesn't tell me how many calls I've made! 
Has anyone reached the limit yet? Does it errrm tell you when you have reached the maximum? 

Yes, I can (finally!) confirm that it does - well, not this comp specifically but the £50k one here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6431621/e-01-05-5pm-50k-payday-bonus#latest
which is also run by Bauer Radio and also uses an 0330 number for free entries.
It told me I had reached the maximum entries.

So that's 120 entries for the £50k comp, I'm about to start the 150 entries for the £250k comp..... 

Hi Liz
Just to confirm you entered 0330 number, 
I have just rung my mobile provider as I have a contract and they have confirmed I have free unlimited calls to 0330
and you have entered these
First time I am going to enter via a phone call 
Thanks

Just to say be careful entering via phone call, I rang o2 (my provider) I could ring 0330 for free but as soon as I mentioned the word competition was told I would be charged for call. I could ring any business etc that were 0330 numbers for free but not competition lines

Does anyone have an inkling why?

she didn't say as I said at first it was yes you can ring 0330 for free but as soon as I mentioned competition it was no it will cost you, I guess they have to make the money somehow. Good luck to all who can ring for free, just wanted to warn people in case they were on the same as me
