Free entry competitions are the ones most people want, and there are more of them than you would think, including inside competitions that look paid.
The free route inside a paid competition
Many competitions that advertise a premium SMS entry also carry a free alternative, often a postal or online entry, set out in the terms.
It is usually buried, and rarely advertised, but it is normally there. It is worth reading the terms for it.
Where free competitions come from
Radio stations, magazines, retailers building a mailing list, and brands launching a product. None of them need your money; they want reach or contact details.
What you pay instead
Your details and, usually, permission to be marketed to. That is a fair trade if you are happy with it, and POPIA gives you the right to withdraw it later.
