Just to let people know, you can just dial the number and let it run - you will still be entered even if you don't press 1.
It is a bit slower this way, but saves having to do anything and means you can have your phone sound turned off and you don't have to listen to the really long announcement 116 times 😀

Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 20104 -
Managed 101 entries & then got the 'You have reached your entry limit' message.
Have emailed them to ask for clarification.

I think the entry limit problem has been fixed; so if you entered fewer than 116 times, it might be a good idea to try entering some more to see if you can get to 116.
