    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
    for me it said sorry you can only enter with the number you have called from basically as if i had pressed 2.

    That's so strange. I got the same as Molkomad. I let it play itself out without pressing anything and got 'thanks for entering'.

    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!

    Hi all, is anyone able to get through on any of the lines today ?
    Managed a hundred or so yesterday without a problem, I've just tried several times in the last 10 minutes or so, & whilst the call connects, I just get 'dead air'.
    Good luck all.

    Thanks, I left it for about 10 minutes or so and tried again, all seems ok now.
    Must have hit a log jam of entrants phoning in. :smile:

    I think that the entry mechanism has changed again. 

    You have to press 1 to register your entry after the beep. If you don't press anything, it tells you to redial. 

    I guess people were finding it too easy to make the free entries.

    Is it 200 calls or 200 entries?
    never considered it before but I’ve reached my limit on calls - but fear a lot of them didn’t register as I didn’t realise they’d fixed the ‘letting it run til the end without pressing 1’ thing and still getting the entry!

    200 entries, I've counted my calls in the past & found I'd made several calls more than the entry limit.
    These were calls that had 'dropped out'.
    HTH.

    Amazing thanks! Seemed to get to the end of them quickly this week which makes a change!
