IssueBits, a private British company has launched a new information service for Orange and Vodaphone mobile phone users.

For the cost of £1 (+ network charges) enquirers can text the AQA service on 63336 and within minutes they get an answer in a text message.

Questions range from “what’s the difference between fewer and less”, “how much C vitamin in an orange and in a bag of chips”?, shirt numbers of Manchester United players, best odds offered in a horse race, details of film showing times, and which restaurant to eat at next.
