X Factor vs Strictly Come Dancing – where will voting for your winner cost you more?
It's the battle of the Saturday night TV competitions!
IT’S no secret that there’s a bit of a rivalry between the X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing bosses.
But as the two telly favourites go head-to-head for the Saturday night hot-spot, which show is the least expensive to vote on?
Rates vary depending on which number you ring and from what operating system.
X Factor voters who call in from a landline are charged 35p per vote.
For Strictly Come Dancing fans that ring a Mobile Short Dial Code number on a landline, the cost is just 15p per minute.
This means that as long as you don’t forget to hang-up the phone while ringing Strictly, it’s cheaper to register a vote on the popular BBC dancing competition.
Staggeringly, you can get over DOUBLE the Strictly votes than you can when you ring into the X Factor phone-line.
