LONDON - 25 September 2005 - AlienPants Ltd (www.alienpants.com) is pleased to announce that the GTIP premium SMS hints, tips and cheats service has launched on T-Mobile's WAP games portal at www.t-zones.co.uk.
The service is available via WAP through a link on the games portal. Customers simply browse to the T-Mobile games portal and select the link to the GTIP service. Customers can then enter their question using a standard WAP text entry field.
"Since launching in 2003, the GTIP service has proven itself to be extremely popular with game players," said Tom Gordon, CEO of AlienPants. "Launching the WAP version on T-Mobile is extremely exciting. We are providing the ease of use of the GTIP service direct to T-Mobile customers. Game players will no longer need to remember a keyword or shortcode, they can simply bookmark the WAP site on their phone."
Once a question has been entered into the WAP page, an AlienPants Cheat Master responds and sends the answer directly to the customer's mobile phone by SMS, typically within 5 to 10 minutes of receiving the question, allowing customers to get almost instant and timely help to game problems and requests.
"The beauty of the system is its simplicity." continues Tom. "As the service is a mobile service, customers are able to use the service from anywhere and from any phone that supports WAP and Short Messaging. They don't need to connect to the Internet or call a telephone number. They just pause the game they are playing, send in their question, and the answer will come straight back to their phone. "
The GTIP service is also provided as a white-label customer support service for games publishers, magazines or any other company interested in providing hints, tips and cheats or a live customer support service to their customers. For more information about the GTIP service and how to use it, please visit the GTIP website at www.gtip.co.uk or email [email protected].
