HELP!!!! when i use my cellphone to call the 1-866-436-5701 it tells me that the number is wrong? how do i use my cell to vote? PLEASE HELP!!!! 
The plus sign is necessary, I think.
TO EVERYONE If you are planning to vote for David next wednesday using your Globe phones, I do suggest you use
Gizmo as well. It is written in the
American Idol FAQs that votes from outside the United States will be discarded and thus will not be counted with the official votes. Since we are using our Globe Phones with our country code (+63), it is possible that they
don't count our votes if what's written in the FAQs are true, but still do use it as well since we'll never know. But don't get limited to your Globe Phones, I'm encouraging you guys to use Gizmo as well. It is widely used by other fanbases (by the Archuleta's camp), so there's is this
slight assurance that votes
do get through. If you use Gizmo, I think your location and country is not detected by AI computers. I was able to phone my Dad in the States using it and I was able to use it during last week's voting and it worked.
Here is how to use Gizmo:
Just go to
www.gizmocall.com, download and install. Not Gizmo5, just Gizmocall. It's just a plug-in, so you're going to have to access it using your browser (Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer). Once you've installed it, you can try calling
Toll-free 1800 numbers in the States (You can search it on the net) and it should go through. So come voting time (wednesday 9-11am PH Time), you can use it. It should be free since 1800 and 1866 numbers are free using Gizmo. The Plus (+) sign is necessary when dialing, I think.

While calling, you would be hearing
dead tones often, it's like the busy line for Gizmo application. Just try calling and calling and calling. You should hear,
"thank you for voting for contestant number 3" something something like that. Once you hear that, just hang up and call again.

Don't give up on the first and second try, especially when you get busy or dead tones---it's normal. Just try again.
If you have questions *InlovewithDC* made a thread for technical concerns. She should be a lot of help. The thread is linked on my siggie.

She posted some tips to know if you're getting through or not so check it out.

So let's vote using
Gizmo and
Globe. Para sure tayong lahat! Hindi natin alam kung alin ang gumagana sa dalawa so let's try it both ways, please?

LIFEHOUSE IS COMING TO TOWN! July 26! Bwahahaha.
