Question - Has somebody ever composed a table of voting price rates in different participating countries? Would be interesting to see where we rank.
As much as I've watched the national selections this season, our fare seems to be 3-4 times higher than elsewhere. I know that the local broadcaster puts the prices in place, but could EBU regulate this in some way PLEASE? Because it's not OK!
I would vote A LOT more in our national final and when the Liverpool competition starts, but... My whole family wants to vote as well! After 3 vote castings the bill exceeds my usual monthly phone bill!And when to multiply it for example by 5? It becomes A LOT of money!
Where's the justice I ask???
Unsure how accurate this is but the UK cost is definitely correct here
Thanks, Peggy!
But yes, just as I thought - Estonia at the very top. I'll take that issue to ERR and fight!
Thanks @MopManMoss !

ESC_Peggy already sent that to me, but the question still remains (to our ERR, that is) - Why the F**** we have to pay that much??? Maybe I remember that incorrectly, but it was even 1,69€ in Estonia - PER VOTE!

is higher than the 1.09€ on the map but it's also among the most expensive places to vote, definitely. I despair.
UK is 15p/18c so that's correct
Ireland is 60c
Estonia is extortionate
I'd say it's accurate

This is the first year that I'm watching NFs. It's super fun. Not sure which one I should watch tomorrow. Sanremo's final night, Eesti Laul or Dansk Melodi. I guess everyone is going to watch Sanremo? I think I'm going to watch Dansk Melodi since I haven't heard the songs yet.

But the UK couldn’t vote by SMS?
I'm going by the phone vote prices which would have been the same anyway, judging by other shows in the UK that use SMS and phone - they're normally the same

I know people hate Melfest and all but this is why app voting should be a thing. No song should miss out on votes due to the money aspect
I actually got so excited when the BBC enabled app voting a few years back... only for it to call the bloody phone number anyway

Most of the songs aren't worth it, in my opinion. Denmark has really dropped in these past three years, they used to have an 80% qualification rate and now they can barely send a decent song.
literally every NF can go wronghappy super saturday everyone! i'm ready to be disappointed

Germany is lower than 0.20 € -
Telephone call is 0.14 €
SMS is 20 cents, yes.

I'm sure
It is 1.45€ indeed, second highest after Estonia... And of course, that makes people think twice before voting.

literally every NF can go wrong
Since apart from Eesti Laul and Sanremo, all NF´s kinda suck big time (and there are only VERY FEW good options), I already expect the worst (and hopefully, I will be pleasantly surprised when I like the final winner(s)).
Personally, I don´t think that I will rank more than 2 entries higher than my second last place so far (
) tonight

Same here.. I watched the performances of Eesti Laul (which were quite good! It was a surprise!) but I switched to Grey´s Anatomy now - maybe I will be watching the results (but dunno, I don´t want to wait for 1 hours).
Denmark, Romania, Latvia, Malta are really bad this year - like seriously, they have a single song max. which might be competitive and the 2nd heat of Sweden/Melodstivalen sucks as well.
Personally, I think that as long as it´s not your own country,
and are interesting tonight.(I watched
last week which was good, though!)
