I had some votes returned today!
Today I received two text messages saying; "Sorry but the X Factor voting line is now closed..."
I sent several texts on Saturday but they were all before the results show even started - so it proves that some public votes aren't even being counted because they're not being received on time. Anyone else had this?

With text votes it's best to get them in ASAP after lines open because they take longer to register. That's why the text lines close quite a bit before the phone lines.
If you send them too late, you'll get them returned. How late depends on how busy they are. Mind you it goes for all lines so it doesn't favour one contestant against another. |

It was interesting this week that for the first time when it came back for the results show Kate said that interactive voting was closed but text voting was still open...text voting seemed to close at the same time as phone voting did this week.
I got the text back message saying that voting was closed, but the act that I was voting for got through on public vote anyway.......saying the vote is really close and texting is still open is probably a really good way to get extra revenue though.......well I might think that if I was a suspicious kind of person.... |

I take it you don't get a refund on the premium you pay, if the vote is returned
