Are There Any Products That Can Mimic American Idol Voting?

by Andre Slater

I have a website and I am wanting to incorporate a voting system similar to American Idol where you can "text" Maria to 22222 or text Cindy to 22222
and when people do that they are put on a sms text list.

I have txt180 currently and to do multiple keywords you have to pay 10 bucks for each keyword and I have to add 2 bucks to my bill.

So I am trying to find some sort of program, plugin, or something that I can use on my site that will get people to vote, but before they vote I can get there info to send them stuff.

I either want to use a sms type service or any other way where I can throw contest and have people vote for people.

Any Ideas on how to do this. Any cheaper services than txt180

    Use a 10 digit service or ask if they will give you KW variations at no extra cost.

    Example: Text VOTE1 to 22222 for Cindy, Text VOTE2 to 22222 for Mary, etc...

    I run an SMS company that competes with txt180, prices are higher, but we just give keyword variations to customers that inquire because they have no real value.

    We are not going to have another customer in the future that has to have VOTE2 as their main KW.

    So call them, if you already own VOTE, ask them for the number variations to be added to you account. There is ZERO cost to them except for a couple minutes adding them into your database.

    And I doubt they want to lose a customer over something so simple and free to make you happy.

    Hope that helps! Thanks, Shane

      What is your service? I have tried with txt180 they told me I can only have 1 keyword that I can change if I want to, but when I add a keyword I have to at 10 bucks per kw. If I have 10 contestants I have to pay 100 bucks.

      I will call them again and ask them.

        Sent you a PM. Yeah, that's crazy in our opinion that they'd want to nickle and dime over KW variations but to each their own.
