David’s first LIVE Top 12 Guys performance is Tuesday night.
You can vote as many times as you want until the lines close!

Q: How Do I vote?
A: This season, for the first three weeks of American Idol voting (first vote is Tuesday, February 19, 2008), there will be two performance shows a week for you to vote on — Tuesday night will feature the boys and Wednesday night will feature the girls. After the Tuesday night show, you can vote for any of the boys who performed that night. You will have at least two hours after the show to cast your vote before lines close and no more voting for the boys will be accepted.

Each contestant will be assigned his or her own toll-free number and text message short code number during the performance show. To vote, simply watch American Idol on FOX each week (see local listings for dates/times in your area) and dial the telephone number of the contestant for whom you wish to vote. Or, AT&T Mobility subscribers may text the word ‘VOTE’ to the 4 digit short code numbers promoted for each contestant. Only send the word ‘VOTE’ to the 4 digit short code numbers you see on screen, you cannot send a text message to the toll-free numbers. Voting will open at the end of each performance show. The lines will NOT be open before that.

Q: Who can vote?
A: Anyone calling or any AT&T Mobility subscriber who has the ability to text message from within the Continental US, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands can cast their vote for the next American Idol.

Q: Can I vote by using my cell phone?
A: Yes, you can vote using your cell phone, although cell minutes will be used even though the call is toll-free. Contact your cell phone service provider if you want to know how much you will be charged. Additionally, if you vote using AT&T Mobility Text Messaging, standard text messaging fees will apply — see How Do I Vote Using AT&T Mobility Text Messaging? for more details. Only send the word ‘VOTE’ to the 4 digit short code numbers you see on screen, you cannot send a text message to the toll-free numbers.
If you are calling or text voting from a cell phone and you are in a different time zone from your cell phone number, the systems will accept or reject your vote based on the time zone of your cell phone area code. For example, if you have a New York cell phone area code but are calling from Los Angeles, you will be voting outside the East Coast voting window and your vote will not be accepted. Try calling again from a landline telephone during the West Coast voting window.

Q: How do I vote using AT&T Wireless Text Messaging?
A: As with the toll-free voting, each contestant will also be assigned his or her own AT&T Mobility text message number during the show — this 4 digit short code number will appear on your TV screen alongside the toll-free phone numbers. To vote by text if you are an AT&T Mobility subscriber, simply watch American Idol on FOX each week, input the word ‘VOTE’ into a new text message on your cell phone and send this message to the 4 digit short code number assigned to your contestant of choice (such as 5701 for Contestant 1). Only send the word ‘VOTE’ to the 4 digit short code numbers you see on screen, you cannot send a text message to the toll-free numbers. If done correctly, you will receive a message confirming your first valid vote during the voting window regardless of how many contestants you vote for, or how many votes you cast.
AT&T Mobility text message voting will open at the end of each performance show and stay open for at least 2 hours, subject to local time zone limitations. Voting will NOT be open during the show or outside the two hour time period determined by the area code on your cell phone. Votes sent outside of the voting window will be invalid, and you will receive a message saying the window is closed. If you are sending your text vote from a cell phone with an area code that is in a different time zone from that in which you are calling, the network will accept or reject your vote based on the time zone of your area code. So, if you have a New York cell phone area code but are voting from Los Angeles during the West Coast voting window, your vote will not be accepted. Try calling the toll-free number from a land line during the West Coast voting window instead.

Q: Can I vote if I subscribe to a digital phone service or VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) service?
A: Yes, you can vote if you subscribe to some digital or internet-based phone systems, such as Vonage or Skype. However, note that digital phone and VOIP services often re-route outgoing calls to a different geographical location from which the call is being made. As a result, you may only be able to vote in the voting window to which your call has been re-routed. If you are trying to vote in the regular voting window for your region and your call is re-routed outside of your region by your service provider, you will not be able to vote (instead, you will hear a fast busy signal). However, you still have the availability to vote during the other voting window. For further information, contact your digital phone or VOIP service provider.
