ITV Win - Tipping Point Competition - Text Refund Request
Just seen this at https://www.itv.com/win/, so thought I would share here.
On Monday 17th August, an episode of Tipping Point was broadcast which incorrectly featured a competition offering the chance to win £17,000. This competition had already closed, so all entry attempts were invalid.
Users who attempted to enter via phone will not have been charged.
Users who attempted to enter via SMS will have been charged their standard network rate (approximately 15 pence).
If you entered via SMS between 17th - 24th August and would like to request a refund for your standard network rate please contact us at itvihelp@itv.com by 3pm on Wednesday 30th September 2026.

Are there any networks that still charge for SMS messages, haven't they been fully inclusive for a decade or more? Even on my backup GiffGaff pay as you go phone for the office all calls and texts are free.

These competitions use SMS short codes which networks generally do not include in their inclusive minutes, typically it's10-20p ea plus the cost of any "extras" on premium numbers.
Same system that's used by some charities for SMS-giving with different codes for £5, £10 etc.
