A lot of people have misconceptions of voting from the US via SMS's
This is a public service announcement+clarification of some misconceptions
yes, if you are voting from the US, if you can enroll into a fixed rate plan from various subscribers, like Verizon or ATT or Sprint, costs you anywhere from $35-$50(this can be land or cell phone)
However for each and every SMS to these numbers provided by Zee, Zee TV charges 99 cents(Indian currency around 40 rupees)
so if you were to vote for 1000 times from your cell phone or land line phone you will pay a fixed price of $35+1000x99 cents.
So a cost of 1000 votes is $1034= roughly 40000 rupees
so how much sense is it voting from the US using phones?
now if you dont beleive it, try itđ
and is clearly stated here
