X Factor voting now possible for Irish viewers

muffinhead

The Sky News website has an article here which talks about how UK X Factor viewers can now vote for free (from inclusive minutes) by calling an 03 number, the only catch is they must listen to a 15 second advert before the vote is registered.

UK 03 numbers can be called from Ireland (Eircom charge 35c/min, BT Ireland charge 30c/min) so this could be a loophole which will allow Irish viewers to cast their votes on X Factor.

So for anyone looking to vote for John & Edward (or a slightly more talented act ) visit this website on the night of the live shows for the latest voting numbers:

I just called the number (0044333 666 9809) - it gives some advert then diverts to the actual X Factor voting line. I got the message "Thanks for calling the X Factor. Your vote for John & Edward has been registered" then it just disconnects.

On Blueface.ie this number comes up as 'UK National' and is charged at 1.6c/min but it is also included in their Freedom bundles - so you could vote using your inclusive minutes !

This is fantastic. Hopefully it'll keep the twins in longer. For the novelty factor. And to annoy Simon.

I know the guys are Irish, but in all seriousness, they haven't a note in their heads and if they are successful, it sends a bad message to aspiring young performers. Basically that you dont need any talent to succeed. Its a sad state of affairs.

Grenache! Fancy seeing you posting about this :P Really wouldn't have thought it possible.

Being fully honest I don't care that they're Irish. They are the only act that are not boring this year. The rest stand at their mics and sing(exception of few) J&E are by far the most enjoyable, entertaining act this year. And their bottom two performnce was their best ever. Shows they are improving all the time

Are you serious, there are plenty of talentless people out there sending out that message already like Jordan and Jodie Marsh, (unless talent is getting your bits out), you cant blame Jedward for that!!!!!!!!!!!. Their talent may not be singing but they are entertaining, and thats the reason people are voting for them.

Like Big Brother hasn't been doing that for years with their fame hungry C listers. What about the Glamour Girls? Most pop singers are useless singers anyways apart from a handful. Get real.

I have never heard such tripe in all my life... There are plenty of people rich and famous for being able to do nothing at all...
Its the time we live in, and i think the lads have got a talent. They are entertainers.
Would you go to a Lucie concert...i know i wouldnt.

Colleen Rooney- has her own tv show and she's fat and ugly like her husband.

Paris Hilton- if that girl farts its in the newspaper.

Calum Best- The fella count kick a ball out of his way, a disgrace to his father really.

Jade Goody- had absolutely no talent, was famous becasue people felt in a way sorry for her.
