Hi fellow compers can you help me please? I have two mobile phones - one I use for competitions and one for other stuff. However, although they both say 'unlimited free texts' they charge me for entering Text to Win Competitions such as Asda and Tesco to a 5 digit number. One phone is with EE and the other O2. A lot of these Text to Win Comps say daily entry is allowed but at 20-30p a text it starts to add up. Do you know Is there any network that doesn't charge for texting to a 5 digit number?

    I believe every network would charge you for premium rate text messages, and indeed premium rate phone calls.
