Tried several times for Harry and its always engaged.
I thought the digital networks could cope with call volumes nowadays - looks lik not enough resource.
Its the same for all three I think........been trying to get a vote through since the lines opened and only managed to get through once. Just sheer volume of calls I think.
I get an unobtainable tone. I have tried all 3 numbers to make sure.
How can anyone get through?
I have no idea how the BBC make any money off of this show. I've managed to get through four times since the lines opened, I've just had the unobtainable tone most of the time :mad:

The BBC cannot make any money from phone votes (unlike ITV). It's against their charter
Used to be like that. The votes were 25p and a portion went to CIN.
In series 4 (?) people complained that they wanted to vote but didn't want to donate. So they scrapped the charitable bit and reduced the cost of the call, which now covers the costs of the company that runs the phone vote.

I'm still getting a "Network is busy" message with BT, but I have now managed to vote via my mobile. It did take ages, though.

Doesn't work like that I'm afraid.
If it's engaged for one it's engaged for all. The calls go to one platform and then split dependant an the last two digits.
So if you can't get through to your favourite don't worry. Neither can anyone else
can't get thru on ANY number
Maybe it's a good sign that they're all busy because lots of people must be voting.

PMd it to you but I have had a problem getting through. Managed 3 up to now.

That's a very good sign but keep trying hon.

Doesn't it all go to Children in Need???
I've had the same problem AND several missed dialled tones when using the redial button after getting through.
Lines are now closed :mad:
That was a long, long, long time ago!
