Contest Voting using Short Message Service (SMS)

Contest voting using Short Message Service (SMS) is a popular method used in various types of competitions and shows, particularly in television reality shows and radio contests. It involves viewers or listeners sending an SMS text message to a specific phone number or shortcode to cast their vote for a particular participant or option. The text message might include a specific keyword or code assigned to each contestant. This system of voting is easy to use, allows a large number of people to participate in real-time, and provides a simple way for the organizers to tally votes. However, it's important to note that such voting systems may be subject to charges by mobile operators, and measures should be in place to prevent vote manipulation or 'text vote stuffing.'
