This point in the article is important for anyone ringing competition lines:
Recurring Charges
Competitions can sound so enticing: a simple question your cat could answer, followed by a call or text, and you can win a mega prize. You're happy to pay the €2 entry charge to sign up.
But what many people don't realise is that buried in the small print flashed super-quick on the TV screen, is that the €2 is a subscription charge, and it may be deducted each week until you find out, and more importantly, discover how to stop it.
As per the article great to see that Revenue have dropped the 1890 too:
