Tennis Questions Anyone? kgb 542542 is in Full Swing to Answer All Your U.S.
Open Questions
From info on the players to advice on scoring the perfect racquet, kgb 542542
text answer service will ace all your tennis questions




NEW YORK, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The. U.S. Open begins Aug. 31, and kgb is on
top of its game to answer all your tennis-related questions. Below are some
actual U.S. Open questions that have been served up to kgb's 542542 text
answer service.

Who has the most U.S. Open men's singles titles? How can I purchase tickets
for this year's U.S. Open? Who is the youngest U.S. Open women's singles
champ? Who are the top seeds at this year's U.S. Open? When was Roger Federer
born?

Here's how it works: if you have a tennis-related question (or any question
for that matter), send it via text message to 542542 (kgbkgb), the number for
the kgb's text answer service, where a specially-trained kgb Special Agent is
waiting to provide a quick, accurate answer.

"kgb 542542 has become a great companion for sports fans across the country
and we anticipate the U.S. Open will generate lots of tennis-related
questions," said Bruce Stewart, CEO of Mobile and Digital at kgb. "Often fans
text us while watching a match with spontaneous questions like, 'How can I
become a ballboy or ballgirl at the Open?' or 'What injuries caused Nadal to
take a break from the tour earlier this year?' kgb 542542 helps fans keep
track of match-by-match results while they're at work or on the go. Whenever
they need the latest news on the Open, they can kgb it."

The kgb 542542 text answer service combines the power of the company's
best-in-class knowledge database with the judgment and skill of a
specially-trained community of kgb Special Agents who provide quick, accurate
responses to any question. Users receive real-time responses to questions any
time, day or night, from any cell phone, for a cost of  ninety-nine cents.

In January kgb launched its flagship text answer service, 542542 (kgbkgb)
following the success of kgb's similar "Ask Us Anything" premium text answer
service in the United Kingdom.
