Just to clarify.... this wasn't a fake "I'm going to get people to try to ring Wagner's line" type thread. Also, I managed to get through a couple of times but the other times it is still not consistently working. Don't know if it is a problem with my phone or Wagner's line.

I can't get through either

I think the only way to truly test it is to get a good couple of millionpeople to all call at the same time.....that should be a large enough test group to be absolutely certain that the reportd success or failure is accurate!!!!

I cant get through...very frustrating

The number wasn't right the first time there was a one missing I tried about 10 times

Try all the other numbers, see if they work.

Guys check the number it should be 11 digits long

I've just rang the number here on the website http://xfactor.itv.com/2010/vote/

and it's working. I did initially dial the wrong number ( i added an extra 1 after the 61) so that's were i went wrong

I don't vote so can't try it - sorry!
