Not sure if I have just been lucky, but I use my normal mobile phone number and only get a couple of calls here and there - mostly from companies I contacted to enquire about them rather than from competitions

Generally the cold calls are few and far between. I quote my mobile phone number and it really hasn't impacted me at all. You can always block them (at least after initial / attempted contact). You'll probably find you're ok, @kateonlineconnect. If providing your phone number is optional, you can always enter with the mandatory personal information 'required' of you, and no more that that. Best of luck.

Ones that I think will cold call I use my home ph number as I don't answer that unless they start to leave a message.
Mobile I always let it go to voicemail , they'll leave a message if it's a win😉

I use my own. Pretty good mostly. Odd marketing call here and there. I politely say no. If they petsist i just block them lol

I downloaded the free app "should I answer" if its a known spam caller it blocks the call going through , I still get notified they tried to ring & I can google the number & call back if I like .

Thank you for your answers. Ive used my home phone which I never answer. Ill just have to set up the voicemail on it in case i do win something.

@crankymum that golden advice right there, doing that straight away,cheers!!!

If you have an iPhone you can Block the number. Normally they call from the same number as it's an Australia but they are actually calling from overseas. If they call more than once on the same number then I block the number!
