Note that you don't have to press "1" at the beep.
As long as you don't press any key, after 4 seconds it accepts your entry anyway.

Please could someone explain? Is this for after you've entered your phone number??

Many thanks!

It means all you have to do now is dial the number and let the call end. It takes 51 seconds. Even though it's a lot longer, it's so much easier. I'm trying to do 30 a day (with 20 on the last day.) I did all today's entries while working, because you click to dial and then just leave it until it ends the call. It tells you thanks you have entered and then closes the call. HTH

Thank you so much @Blulu for explaining this so well.

That's great advice. I find all the calls really hard to get done.

Has anyone confirmed if it definitely counts as an entry? Much easier to leave it if so! 

1. You get the "thanks for entering" about 3-4 seconds after the beep and it closes the call.

2. To test it I did 190 calls while pressing "1", then did 10 calls without pressing "1". On the 201st call I got the "You have reached the maximum number of entries" message.

Together, this has satisfied me that not pressing "1" definitely counts as an entry.

Fab, thanks for the testing!

Do we think these free telephone numbers really work? If you press '2' she still says you've entered the competition.

Yes, like One-Eye, I got told today that I have reached my limit for entering. I think it's probably a blip that they will correct some time. But if it wasn't working, they wouldn't tell us we've done all our entries. HTH

I've just finished mine. I do them when I'm a passenger in a car, which I often am as i hate driving so I let my husband do all the driving when we're going somewhere together. We're on a four hour journey today. 

He does his on the loo....

I look at it this way:
No entries = infinite chance of not winning. 
One entry= very small chance of winning.
Two-hundred entries = very small chance of winning.
Therefore I may as well do one entry and any more that I can do during time I cannot use for anything else is a bonus but doesn't make a huge amount of difference to my chances.

I finished all mine on Weds. I think because they’ve changed the phone numbers, the press 1 or 2 thing is just a blip, which I’m sure they will iron out. 

Does anyone know if there’s going to be another new competition next week. As this is the last week for this one? 

Thanks.

Cannot let it run as last week, you have to press 1 or it says "sorry  etc"

I’ve just done a call and let it run without pressing anything after the beep and it said I’d been entered into the competition so is working the same as the last batch of 200 for me

The great thing about the loud bleep, is that I can turn the sound right down on my phone and still hear the bleep.
