    Oh okay! Sorry if I jumped the gun, I've received a few dodgy scam/phishing texts in the past so I'm always wary of messages from non-Irish/UK numbers!

    I was getting them straight back from 50100, last 2 days some of the replies are coming from infomessage and some from 50100.

    That caboodle one is tough

    Very tough, I ended up going through the thread on the moneysavingexpert forum for my remaining answers. There were a few i would definitely not have gotten.

    I get a mix of replies from both too. Sometimes no reply. It's very strange

    The tesco text one. The terms say one entry a day. Up to yesterday I was getting a reply saying we have received your message, today it says just one entry per mobile.

    I was just asking because I was wondering are they disqualifying people who religiously enter the 5 times a day. I have it set up in the Do it later app to auto send

    That would be against the Ts&Cs though which state that up to 5 entries a day are allowed.

    They do state that "Entries made using methods such as a computer macro, a script or the use of automated devices or processes are not allowed, and all such entries will be disqualified." - would the use of the Do It Later app fall under the description of an automated process? Surely they wouldn't be able to detect it as it just shows up as a standard text?

    Got a call this morning that I won a coke voucher, woooooo! (087 number but the way)

    My husband won last week after relatively few tries, jammy git! He got a shoe store voucher and had an issue with it. He ended up getting a call from a 'director' of gift house who was really helpful and nice, and they've temporarily removed the store from their site because of the issue, and sent him an Amazon voucher instead, so great customer service from them.

    is fpd.ie good for competitions?

    Do you have to say yes I’m almost the surveys to stand a chance of winning? And is it survey only? I couldn’t see any types of competitions.

    I don't bother with it at all so no idea if real or not. To be honest I think it's really a place they mine your data and maybe you get a very small reward, maybe. It's not a guaranteed reward. I don't mind surveys like on entertainment.Ie or known sites as we on boards have won from them before. Basically I'm considering my time vs potential reward and its not worth it for me.

    Just got the call for the Coke competition. Have been texting GIFT every day. I do it different times each day sometimes early but mostly after 5. I did the 5 entries every day.

    Same! Did the 5 entries every day since it opened and just got a call this morning - thanks OP :)

    My texts to 50400 are another story however, going to contact them now to see if they'll sort it out. I only ever text the allowed amount, so it's not like I'm spamming them, but I'd say once a year I randomly stop receiving any replies and end up having to contact someone to unblock me again!

    I'm getting replies from the 50400. Except for tesco one because they changed it last week to just one entry although before that it was every day and it says on the terms on the website every day one entry allowed

    It used to be info@return2sender.ie, but when I emailed them today I got a delivery status notification failure auto-reply.. I then searched the Coca Cola comp Ts&Cs, which list a contact address registered to Return2Sender, so I went to their website and copied my email into their contact form here: https://return2sender.ie/contact (though I'm guessing the contact from is also tied to the same address info@return2sender.ie)
    No idea if it'll work though, will let you know!

    I would imagine ur not disqualified, theres probably 100s entering every day. Just do it the 5 times a day now. Each day is a new draw

    yeah it's quite easy to go over the 5 times as well if you're not paying attention so it would take a lot of their time to disqualify people.
    I just really want to win this one as it seems quite doable, a lot of people winning, and planning to put it towards my mum's Christmas pressie :)
