Is the TELUS text-messaging vote system the same as the toll-free system?
TELUS text-message voting is the same as the toll-free voting system in terms of open/close times and ensures every region gets two hours to vote. The competitor numbers will also be very similar. If you want to vote for Competitor # 2, for example, you can either call 1-866-9-IDOL-02 (1-866-94365-02) OR TELUS subscribers can text the word VOTE to 436502 (IDOL02). Please make sure you watch the show to find out the right numbers each week. Only send the word “VOTE” to the six-digit numbers you see on screen; you cannot send a text message to the toll-free numbers.
