Do you think this is the problem

Evening everyone,

Ive been comping now for nearly 2 months now and have been entering every comp going, but NO wins at all.

I was wondering is it because I only have a mobile number, (I dont have a landline yet) is it because of this.

Also a very big THANK YOU to everyone who have kindly posted links to comps and the ans.

I hope that one day i start to win something.

Have a good easter everyone.

    I only ever give out my payg mobile number and i seem to be very lucky (see my signiture). I even won 3 major prizes: sports goods value £200, £100 woolworth vouchers and begining of this month Sony Vaio Laptop, BT business broadband & Ofice anywhere mobile phone package free for 12 months!

    Just keep at the competitions and luck will come your way soon.

    I usually only ever give my mobile number for comps & I still have been quite lucky :) The only comps that get my home number are the Virgin ones as I am with them anyway :confused::D

    I think it's just a numbers game, enter enough & hopefully the wins will come :)


    Good Luck!
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    :easter: I have no mobile phone and often forms ask for it. I don't think it makes a difference, it's just luck. Keep going and good luck.:j

    Don't give up. I comped for a couple of months last year and nothing, so gave up. Then I started again in Feb and you will see my wins in my sig! Persevere - look forward to seeing you in the I Won thread. ;)
