To enter the Competition an Entrant must send a text message with the word CRUISE to one of the following Radio Station’s short codes: Classic FM’s 61812, Smooth Radio’s 65588 or Gold’s 81156 (the “Text Message Line”).

After entering the Competition, participants will receive a bounceback text message informing them that a voluntary donation to Global’s Make Some Noise (registered charity 1091657 (England & Wales) & SC041475 (Scotland)) of £3 will be taken automatically an hour (60 minutes) after the time the first text was received, unless they reply with the word STOP.
