Just a follow-up gentleman I got no answer to my request so I was just a day late and a dollar short thanks for the suggestion though.


Sorry to hear that. Would have thought for such a small token prize, they would still honour the winners, especially given the very short comings of the communication method chosen, as I pointed out... many backup phones, many users at home using their landlines, etc.

 

Maybe next time they will opt for communication that has a greater chance of reaching the winners.

Did you receive a private message that you were one of the winners?  If you did not receive any message, you were not chosen unfortunately.  Maybe try again next contest.

Thanks guys I didn't really think of that but why not what's the worst it's going to happen they say no? So I just sent off a private message to Catherine asking if I can still qualify for it. If not that's okay too. But thanks for the encouragement.

@felix67  

 

You would have received a private message with a forum to fill out by a certain date. Your private message is the envelope at top of forums.

As for the Amazon contest you would have received a text message. They sent the texts out on Jan 13th.

Jeepers I checked my private messages well over a week ago to see if I won anything.....nada. Well I sign in just now and there's a message from Catherine. Congratulations you've won 1gb of data from public mobile. Reply by January 9th! I figured once I hadn't won then I hadn't won but I guess that's not the case but congratulations to the third person to win 1gb of data hopefully you didn't miss it either! Congratulations everybody on your prizes!


You seem to have been in the second round of "winners" as the first round needed to reply by Jan 6. BUT even then, there were only 17 of the 20 prizes claimed. So, if you try to reply to Catherine now, maybe she might still award it to you? Can't hurt to try, either via SMS reply or PM directly.

Mmmmmr mmmr meow...not a winner but congratulations to all the winners!
