Playing American Idol Through SMS

You've probably heard of voting for "American Idol" contestants via SMS, and how big of a success that was in U.S...now you can play against each other via SMS. Telenor Mobile Interactive USA and FremantleMedia have launched an American Idol premium text messaging game that allows AT&T Wireless subscribers to compete and become a Virtual Idol, reports Mobile Commerce World.

The game, developed by Mindgames, is pretty expensive: costs $1.99 per play in addition to standard text messaging rates. Players can win or lose fan points depending on how well they respond to a series of questions based on particular scenarios.
