In American Idol,telephone calls from landline phone to the voting lines are toll-free. In case ,you want to use mobile phone,standard text messaging charges are applicable.

But,in Indian Idol,the sms cost to the magic number 2525 starts from Rs.2-3 per sms.If you use IVR facility,the cost per minute can go upto Rs 6.

And,in order to maximize their votes(read as SMS) ,voting in Indian Idol starts every day from 9 PM IST and will end after eleven hours, i.e. next day at time 8 AM while voting for American Idol opens at the end of the performance show each week and stays open for just two hours.
