The price cut is aimed at keeping the voting 'fair and transparent'.

“Cutting the cost of phone votes will hopefully encourage the highest possible number of our viewers to interact with the program.”

In another development, viewers will not be able to vote to evict by text during this series.

"This is because the mobile phone operators cannot process the votes within a time frame suitable for the voting procedures on the program."

Thoughts? I vote by text - so it's unlikely I'll vote this year, but with the price halfed, I might as well ^^

Yes Its Good Isnt It

So if the texts don't fall into the time frame how come they did last year ....

They're removing text voting this year.
Last year they closed the text lines about 5 minutes before they closed phone lines.
