Texting is the way to go - Archie FTW!, Texting is faster... here is how... Options

[prettyorchid]

IT IS 20 TIMES FASTER!!!

1) If you do have AT&T, spend $20 and you get UNLIMITED TEXTING during this whole CRUCIAL time!

2) If you don't have AT&T, spend another $10 ($30 in total) for an AT&T GoPhone, and you can use BOTH your normal phone to dial and your AT&T GoPhone to TEXT!

Text voting is much faster and you can get more votes in. We need to do everything we can to keep David A. on top. If text is free and 10 times faster then that is what we need to be doing.

From Jennifer, archieangel

I recommend that those of you who do not have cell phones purchase the AT&T GoPhone - it’s a pay as you go phone that you can buy at any major store - Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, etc. You can get the Motorola c168i model for $19.99, there's another model for $10!!!

Link to ATT Wireless

It comes with $10 worth of credit and you can easily top it up with $20 of unlimited texting (www.myprepaidrefill.com) or by calling 611 from your AT&T GoPhone.

All you need to spend total is about $30 and you can text in unlimited quantities for Archie from now until the Finale!

If any of you get this and are interested in how to text as best as possible for Archie, send me an e-mail at jennifer61982@yahoo.com and I will send you an ArchPhone Tutorial!

This will make a HUGE difference for Archie’s vote count!

Please spread the word. Here is my take on this:

1) The tutorial will only be available for Archie fans. Contact Jennifer to find out.

2) I thought a lot about publishing this since other fan bases might copy us. But here is my reasoning: We have more die-hand fans than they do, assuming we have X hare-core and they have Y (X >>>> Y), the difference is X - Y before texting. Even if they also use texting (not the way we do though trust me!), the different between us and them will still increase by 10 folds. After texting, the difference will be (10X - 10Y) = 10(X-Y) !!!! This means hard-core fans will boost the votes a lot and the casual voters can just do the rest of the work easily!

Is AT&T the only kind of phone that lets you text vote?

[DavidAismyIdol]

I usually have a cell phone and a land line phone.....I will start texting. I have a cousin and a friend who vote for the contestant I tell them to. I am slowly building an Archie Army!!!

[prettyorchid]

Someone posted this on AI board. THE WAVE IS MOVING!

I have AT&T to begin with but I subscribed for an unlimited texting plan for $20 a month about 3 weeks ago since I am a die hard Archie and I want to send in text votes in addition to landline votes. I plan to cancel the plan after Idol is over. And I tell you it is so much easier and faster. Plus your number of votes will be multiplied 20x. If you dont have AT&T you can buy AT&T Go-Phone for $19.95 and pay additional $20 for unlimited texting.

Let us make sure David A. win this!!!

Go Archies!!!

I have Verizon...
maybe I'll think about getting a GoPhone though!
I just don't know if I can handle voting on 3 cell phones, Gizmo, landline, + GoPhone......

Thanks ILoveClay. Do what you can, don't worry. I think you are doing great, so don't feel the pressure. But for the hard-core who want to know how to do more... here is how!

[soundscene]

I can't text because on my iPhone there's no way to save texts and have them sent out at a specific time. I'd have to go one by one, retyping "Vote" every time. Takes too long.

If you want to... you can spend another $40 for a GoPhone + Unlimited Texting. But it's up to you don't worry. I know there are ppl who can do more and want to, and this is how!!

I have Alltel. But Im gonna start texting to vote next week.

Same here and some people don't have enough monet to buy a whole other phone. I'll just call.

How do you "save texts and have them sent out at a specific time."??? I just bought a GoPhone.

Please email Jennifer. Look at the original post you'll find her email address! She'll tell you EXACTLY what to do. Thankssssssssss Archiefan (hugging).

It's OK! The GoPhone is also $20 though if you can afford it! Once you add the $20 unlimited text then for the whole period UNTIL THE FINALE, the sky is the limit for voting!

I'm not asking everyone to do it. But for those who can and are wondering what else to do...

If you do get the GoPhone, you can still dial AND text with both phones!

Are you sure soundscene? Maybe jennifer knows another way for you... Maybe borrow another AT&T phone during voting time and replace your SimCard or smth like that?

[sof_ansmom]

I did this starting last week! I got the unlimited texts this week, so I texted like crazy for 2 hours (I have Verizon for my reg. cell service). The cheap $20 GoPhone doesn't allow you to send out mass texts like nicer phones, but it's a way to add lots of votes. So this coming week, I'll call using landline, text and start trying to add a cell. I want to save some votes for towards the end, though.

Anyway, if you don't have AT&T and can swing the $40, please do it for Archie!

Thanks.
I'm always looking for ways to get even more votes in, and I didn't know about the GoPhone... thanks for telling us about it! $40 is a lot, but I'll do it for Archie lol
I'll email jennifer about the tutorial right now!

I've only tried voting with 3 phones + Gizmo so far and I feel like I can manage some more, so this week I was gonna add a landline.. and now I guess I'll try the GoPhone too.
