    I wonder if it makes any difference if you use a different number to the one you registered with on the Win Happy website.

    I'm afraid it does. I tried to use one for Win Happy and one for the MAW, then I had a doubt and I contacted them, they told me it was not allowed two numbers.
    Thanks to those who help us to win !

    You don't need to register aa number to enter. I never have. And here's a question...how would they know as you don't give any other detail than your number until you get called? They can't even phone with your name.They have no idea who calls unlike thee old online forms. Add to that, if it's 150 calls over the comp, how come people buy more as per the post I commented on??
    The rules on this comp must have been written when they were drunk they are so iffy.

    In regards to your last question, it's 150 FREE entries per person. You can, of course, choose to PURCHASE further entries. 

    It is not 150 entries in total across all methods. 

    Best wishes.

    Now that we are talking in depth about the phone numbers and amount of calls, my problem are that for one,  I cannot call so many times because my phone number does not accept competitions numbers ... and second, from the fact I could not make so many call all at once, because it was a daily large amount which was a no no for the nerves of my hand, though this time they can be spread out within the week, unlike MMAW.
    So now, I understand I was right by thinking that I can change my number and buy one of those you can make those call without any problem. Am I making any sense? I have to find a new sim.

    They aren't iffy. 

    As @MJB992 says, it's 150 "free" (if you have inclusive minutes on your contract) entries per person not per mobile number.

    Then whatever limits apply on paid entries.

    And the "how would they know" comments might suggest that you have exceeded or are thinking of exceeding the 150 phone entries per person limit by using more than one mobile number. Which is cheating.

    The way some people get more than 150 entries within the rules is 150 "free" ones and others that are paid for. But that doesn't justify using more than one mobile number to cheat.

    You might want to look at sim only deals, https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cheap-mobile-finder/sim-only/ choose one which has unlimited minutes, also if you wish to keep your current number then you could request a PAC code from your current network provider and give that to your new network.

    Could you create a voice prompt on your phone and ask it to call the number?
