Thats loads! lol

[MissCorsham]

And it was things like

"Hello Emma and Nik hidding in the shadows... dont know what thats about"

Jess is going to help me get it the clips

[DJDrew]

Ha cool

[MissCorsham]

So much fun!

He didnt mention his new nickname from us though.

Greggles

Or Greglegs as Jess though we were calling him

[cxx666]

And it definitely works, I got 5 shoutouts from Greg using it

lucky for some, I've been sending in loads of messages during the week and to the guys that have been on so far today, and not 1.

I know they probably receive thousands of messages a day, but does anybody else find they hardly ever get read out, if they even get read out at all?

It depends what DJ you sent it to and whether you're saying anything useful!

[cxx666]

well i've tried scott, sara, chappers and dave, vernona and nihal, and almost always been relevant to a feature, topic or something on headcam (in scotts case)

like I said, I know they must get many thousands but I find it very frustrating knowing that I'm using up my texts and seemingly getting no response.

the only 2 times i've ever been shouted out were on nihal when he was doing a whats on your left feature, and edith when i was said my brother was on his way to uni last week

I've sent quite a few texts now but nether had anything read out.

[midnight]

Ive never had any texts or emails read out before but i have had a couple of posts from here read out by Scott and the gang.

What were the posts about that they read off here?

[midnight]

What were the posts about that they read off here?

It was just things which we were discussing in your view which related to what was being discussed on the show at the time. This happened before they started saying the posts came from here though and so they were "someone on the text".

Oh right - I thought they might have done that

[DJDrew]

I managed to finally get a shoutout from Greg just a few moments ago!

But wasn't recording at the time lol

Well it was Gregs normal slot of 4-6.30, so I'm sure I didn't have much competition on the screen from all the other nutters who were awake. Scott and other in more prime spots have a million times more texts to compete with.

I've had a few texts read out by Greg when i was doing the earlies at work (5:30am start - nearly killed me getting up at 4:30 am!)

Don't you think in this day and age, Radio 1 should be free to text? The short code '81199' costs 10p to text even for those with a text bundle.

I notice on the website that listeners in the Channel Islands, Isle of Man or outside the UK can text +44 (0)7786 201111.

As this is not a short code will it be free for those with a text bundle?

Is this true? I am in the US and wanted to send txts to Radio 1 and I wanted to know if this was true that this will work for people outside the UK.

[Jono]

Yeah - it's the number for outside the UK.

[lllamg]

That's awesome, I cannot wait to start texting radio 1
