  1. Yup. Patience and persistence.


  2. Keep trying

  3. Whether you get through or how fast is dependent on where you live and the way your phone company is set up - true.

    It is also based on the luck of the draw. These are all perfectly legal.

    If you really want to win something, get as many people as you can together with the number programmed into their cell phone and when the buzzer buzzes, or whatever the signal is everybody just keeps hitting redial 'til they hear the busy signal, then does it again and again until your hear ringing, or the DJ says he has a winner. Be careful you don't get so excited you hang up when you hear actual ringing, or a pause instead of the busy signal.

    Or do the same thing on your home phone with one person trying for each line you have (some people have more than one line at their house). Home phones are generally quicker than cellphones.

    Another method works, but only if the station has given a hint as to approximately when they will have the contest and you've done some homework.

    "Clock" the station. Write down what happens and when each hour for a few days to get the station's format clock. If you keep good notes you will discover at what time in the hour they play music and when they stop the music to play commercials, traffic etc. (a "break").

    If they say "in the nine o'clock hour," starting at the beginning of the anticipated first "break," start calling.

    Just have as many people calling as possible starting from about 10 seconds before each "element" ends. An element can be a song, commercial, traffic report etc. You may get lucky and sneak in just after they clear the phones for the contest.

    Of course then you''ve got to talk the person who got through into letting you be the contestant ;<) Good Luck!

    -a guy named duh

  4. people who do it professionally have more than one telephone line and the radio station numbers on speed dial....seriously there are people who do this for a living and your competing against them,there also listening to more than one station at a time......if your just trying top do 1 station having them on speed dial and hitting it over and over when ya here the busy signal and you got a chance
