No they don't.

Yes, 10p goes to charity, but the other 25p goes to the telephone companies.

Here's a C4 press release:

http://www.phonepayplus.org.uk/pdfs_...essrelease.pdf

"The channel will continue using phone voting in Big Brother but is only charging viewers sufficient to cover the cost of the call and any charitable donation."

Also, on occasions where they've offered refunds, for instance when Maysoon walked and her vote line was cancelled, they have publically stated that they do not make profit from phone voting.
wasnt that just for the chj show because of the shylpa effort the previous cbb?if not hands held up
