    how much does each text cost? with the o2 sims 300 free texts, would an entry qualify as a free text?

    costing me 10p per text using a "free" text sim

    I have this theory (right or wrong) that Walkers graphs are a load of rubbish. I got my entry in as people were packing up to go home from work.

    I think you are very right! The only time I would avoid would be lunch time as people tend to eat crisps with their lunch and txt the code off so may be busier but as for the other times I would say the graph is rubbish!

    Perhaps we should test it an all arrange to end one code at a certain time so say if 100 of us enter a code then there should be a spike in the figures?? :rolleyes:

    I really want to win but am on diet so trying not to buy the crisps so aiming for the NPN codes but its not happening here :(

    good luck everyone! :D

  • I've been entering using npn codes, I enter about 50 in the early hours, but I don't get text replies! I seem to get about 24 replies and then........nothing! How would I know if I had won?!!?!?? Its not my inbox being full or anything like that....anyone know?!

    ... if you enter on the web do you get an email to say you have won?



    Yes. I got an email after about ten minutes to say I had won, and that I would be contacted by phone within two hours. The phone call came within half an hour and they then take your details for delivery of the prize.

    Now talking of winners that get lucky first time, My mate won on his second attempt at 17:41.
    I've also Won but with a NPN code, but I did TXT 60-70 in that time
    using software.

    Wonder how many win on their first attempt. is there some kind of pattern

    I had a 24 multipack so entered all the codes before they are eaten up. Not one winner. Tried at different times of day and night, by mobile, by text.

    Great that there have been some winners though. Well done. :beer:

    I really really want one of these but can't afford one so I've been scrounging empty packets from friends who don't want to play.

    Still nothing. *sigh*
