    About kgb

    kgb has pioneered the provision of a broad range of wholesale and retail
information services beyond traditional directory assistance services,
including call completion, movie listings, train schedules, price
comparisons and "Ask Us Anything" service across multiple platforms,
including mobile and landline phones, SMS and the Internet. In 2009 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. 

    Early in 2010, kgb extended the brand to the Web with the launch of
kgbAnswers.com, a site where users can search the vast kgb database of
questions and answers, or ask their own question directly to a kgb Agent.
Also in 2010, kgb harnessed its vast database of hyperlocal directory
assistance information to launch www.kgbdeals.com, a group buying service
that brings its members a daily discount on a city's most popular
products and services; kgbdeals.com initially launched in New York,
Paris, and London. Last year kgb served more than a hundred million
consumers globally and answered nearly a billion questions.
