pleaseme said:That’s interesting so are they saying they don’t charge? It’s quite confusing isn’t it. Sorry to hear you have a disability x
Thanks, I appreciate it xox3 -
I've had a look at the £50k and £250k comps, and registered for the Winhappy system, but (without reading six pages of queries here already) - how do we get free entries now, without paying for entries first? Thank you. Rich.1

Just checking, not sure if I missed something or just being dim having just read the previous comments, is it that if you phone one of these 033 numbers it is free if you have 'inclusive minutes' but if you have pay as you go as I have it is £2?? And you can't do it from a landline?
Thank you for your patience....

Hope nobody minds me posting this, I noticed that some members say they can't afford a monthly Sim deal & I thought this might help.I make NO recommendations or suggestions, but if you can get unlimited calls & texts for around £6.00 per month(& presumably the 0330 numbers will be free) it might be worth considering.Just to reinforce my previous post, I have today again checked 'My Vodafone' account & ALL the 0330 numbers for both the £250,000 AND the £50,000 comp are shown as £0.00I am the main account holder, with my partner & two daughters accounts linked, & they too can phone the 0330 entry numbers with £0.00 showing on their call logs.Hopefully, this might help some of you who are unsure/undecided.Best of luck to you all.

pleaseme said:I phoned my phone provider “3” and asked whether 0330 numbers are free and included in my package (l have a sim only but on a contract). Although “3” don’t charge me for phoning the 0330 phone no the business or in this case the radio station add their charges so it’s not a free call. I hope this helps
Then if it's free, you can crack on with the other 149 entries
I suspect that "3" were answering the question assuming it was some sort of chargeable comp, which this isn't.Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 20102 -

Can you check your mobile provider's website and see whether it says how much calls to 0330 calls cost?Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 20103 -

I haven't seen an email address for them, but might be worth trying them on Twitter or Facebook?
Are you able to enter the £50k one here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6431621 or are you blocked from that one too?
I've just tried that one and getting the same as the big one, so blocked again.......Thanks though!!
It looks more likely that they have blocked my number even though I've never rung any of their competition lines.ASK A WOMAN HOW SHE FEELS

This is the reply I received from Bauer this morning
"We are unable to block your number from entering.
When you dial the number above it will ask you to confirm your number and then enter you into the draw.
It is your mobile networks sole responsibility to connect your calls to the number that you either dial or text, if there is an issue with the connection then this would only be with your mobile network not connecting you to the number correctly.
You will need to call them back and ask them to investigate further.
kind regards"
What I don't understand is, when I ring I hear the phone click (that the call has been answered) but there's no message or sound of any sort, no questions, absolutely nothing.
But the call has connected because the timer has started to count.
Does anyone have any ideas??ASK A WOMAN HOW SHE FEELS
