Can Non-AT&T Users Vote with Text Messaging?
Chiparock | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 06:19 am     I've been told that in order to text-message your vote, you must use the AT&T service. However, I have the text-message option so have been wondering if I can vote via this method. I asked my wireless service provider (Cingular) and was told that it IS possible. Does anyone know for sure? I don't want to waste any precious voting time messing with something that won't work! |

Chiparock | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 08:20 am     OK, thanks. |
Crazydog | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 08:56 am     For as commercial-sponsored oriented as AI is, and as many times as they mention AT&T, I doubt AT&T would allow other providers access to their precious voting. The whole sponsor thing is a little irritating. They have Paula's Coke glass with the famous Coke fountain shape prominently displayed at all times. Pretty soon they're going to get an accounting firm to sponsor each week's "official vote". Then they'll get one of those cosmetics companies to sponsor Ryan's dye and hair gel. |
