    I can't believe people or voting for the twins as a laugh, don't you realise if they get through then someone else who deserves to be there goes home. If you genuinely like the twits, Sorry typo twins, :p then feel free to vote for them.

    I voted for Lucie :Ashe is great and deserves to win.:T Voted 4 times so far all successful, I delibratley waited until the early hours as I know the lines would be quiet. I have never voeted in any of these shows before as the costs are a rip off.
    The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

    I voted 5 times last night, and was charged 10p per call from a Tesco Mobile Pay & Go.

    You got a good deal. According to Tesco's website it should be 20p per minute for UK landlines. (Although I guess it only lasts around 30 seconds)...

    I used my inclusive mins on my mobile, because I thought I'd be charged a connection fee for using my 'free' weekend calls on BT. Am I right? Think its ~9p?
    Are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation? :cool:

    You are only charged a connection fee on chargeable calls. Inclusive calls do not incur a connection fee. (Neither do freephone numbers).

    I only just got round to voting

    The message said i will be diverted to the premium rate xfactor voting line, but i have not been charged for 'this part' of the call

    so does that mean i was charged for the 'other part' of the call when i went through to the xfactor line?

    You can only be charged for the number you actually dialled.

    As you dialled an 03 number, you will be charge for this (unless you have an inclusive phone service, in which case the call will be included).

    I have unlimited calls all day every day, so i should be fine. I've done it on my mobile too (lots of free minutes), so that i can check in a few hours if i have been charged.

    Cheers

    It's just a standard number, so will come out of your inclusive minutes. :)
