I just started watching this season. When I vote as soon as I hear the recording I hang up and dial again.

According to the AI FAQ votes aren't counted intil you hear the thank you. Does this mean that I've just been exercising my fingers?

You guys have any input on this?


Oh yea. There's also some info about using things like "Dial Idol."

I always make sure to hear the entire message before I hang up, just in case it didn't count. It probably needs that message's lapsed time to count in their system.

Oh... man. That means that my votes haven't been getting through, either...

Oh well, thanks T.C.Robson for telling us, :]
