Free X Factor Votes discussion

Quentin

There is more to this.

The free calls are apparently a security risk, which may mean all voters get their money back!

"No one from outside Britain is allowed to vote on The X Factor, in which a contestant is eliminated every week, and attempts to make premium-rate calls from abroad are instantly blocked.

But Mark Hillman, the businessman behind free2call.tv, conceded that up to 12 per cent of the 50,000 X Factor viewers who have used his service are from Ireland."


At least we know how two talentless jerks manage to stay on each week. :rotfl:

I never voted and never will - but after last weeks "result" I mentioned to someone about these free call voting lines which are likelt to have an adverse influence the outcome...:eek:....talentless jerks I agree with totally. In the so called auditions, these two idiots (or is it one) shouted over another singer during a grouped audition, eliminating the lady in the process.

The free2call votes don't even make up 1% of the total votes, so the 12% in Ireland aren't going to make that much difference - and i'd say not all of those 12% are voting Jedward...

It's working now.

Forwarding to the X-Factor lines as it should.

Tried to vote last night and again at 6pm. I heard Martin's message but it's still not conecting through to X Factor.

I think ITV etc are trying to foul this up, which I think is pretty low. Well, I'm not paying for a vote so they ain't gonna get my money!

I've just voted and mine registered.

What act are you trying to vote for? It could be that the actual X Factor lines are busy.

Free voting has now finished.
