GTIP
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GTIP is a premium-rate SMS computer game-related information service based in the UK, which launched in 2002 alongside the Game Guru television program. The service is run by AlienPants Ltd. Using GTIP and its licensed implementations, mobile phone users can text GTIP with any computer or console game question or cheat request and receive an answer within a few minutes.
GTIP is available for UK mobile phone users using a number of different UK shortcode and keyword combinations in the UK, and in the Republic of Ireland using the shortcode 57082. AlienPants has also recently launched two access keywords in Germany, providing the same computer game cheats service to German customers.
The service is also available via a WAP page for T-Mobile customers in the UK.
Since the launch of GTIP in 2002, a number of similar services have launched, including AskMeNow in the US, and 82ASK, Text a Vet and Any Question Answered in the UK.
