So I sent an SMS to win a DVD-box, by Michiel 2005-01-27 13:39:40
one of those contests on TV with ridiculously easy questions. I thought, what the heck.

I had to send 5 messages. First one word to say I want to 'enter', then three answers (multiple choice), then my name and address (in case I win.)

It cost me just under 5 euro. But that's not the worst of it. A few hours ago they sent me an SMS telling me I didn't win, and that cost me 60 cents.

That was definitely the first and last time I do something like that. :)
