send Channel 4 an email and ask them why you've been charged if your vote was rejected.
Watch Ch4 just now as well, they're going on about the money made by 'reality tv'. Very interesting. |

I wouldn't have bothered wasting my time or money.
Channel 4 + Endemol = Rip Off |

I text voted twice a few weeks ago, and when I got my phone bill yesterday morning, I was charged £1.12 for each text! Im sending a copy of my phone bill to channel 4 asking for my money back.
Im not bothered really as its only £1.12, its just the point that it said 25p and i've been overcharged!

It's 25p plus the cost of your normal text message!

It almost sounds as if you were abroad when you did this. no UK provider charges 87p for a text. |

Did a similar thing to vote for another show using my BTCellnet phone (pay as you go) and I got charged a pound for a ten pence vote.
