LONDON – 21 May 2004 - AlienPants Ltd (www.alienpants.com) has licensed their SMS-based Hints , Tips and Cheats service to Papercut Ltd as the official SMS Hints, Tips and Cheats service for their Playstation 2 title Game Player (http://www.gameplayermag.com/).
Customers can request Cheats, Hints and Tips for Playstation 2 games by sending the keyword GP, followed by their question, to the UK mobile short code 83149. The question is then passed to AlienPants’ core GTIP application, and a live Cheat Master will reply directly to the customer’s mobile phone. The service itself is not specific to any one mobile network, and the 83149 short code is available from all mobile networks except Virgin Mobile and 3.
“Once we had decided that we wanted to offer a SMS cheats service, we approached AlienPants and outlined what we wanted. Within a very short space of time we were up and running with our chosen keyword and shortcode number,” said Russell Ware, Director of Papercut Ltd, who produce Game Player magazine on behalf of Revolution Media. “Even as “virgins” to this market, everything was clear and easy to understand, and more importantly, hassle free.”
“The main bonus for us is being able to offer access to a live cheat master without having to employ those people ourselves,” continued Russell. “Having tested the service, we are very happy with the ease with which people can send their questions and also the speed and detail of the response.”
The next issue of Game Player magazine will be published on May 28th. |
