Each Diva will be assigned a keyword.  To vote by text, when prompted by the host who will state when voting is open, input the promoted keyword into a new text message on your cell phone and send this message to the 86946 short number.  If done correctly, you will receive a message confirming your vote.  Remember, you may only vote up to 10 times per voting method per number.  If you try to vote more often, your votes will not be counted.

How much does it cost to vote via text message?
The cost of voting for wireless subscribers varies depending on your carrier’s Text Messaging Package.  You will be charged $0.99 for each valid text vote that you cast, plus standard text message rates. 

When I tried to vote, my handset said 'message not sent' - why?
Text Messaging network is designed to handle huge volumes of votes simultaneously, there may be times (particularly just after the show) when it will not be able to handle every message due to network congestion.  When this happens, ‘message not sent’ will appear on your handset.  Please be patient and try again later.  And, don’t forget to vote within your time zone’s voting window!
