Texperts & Guinness World Records team up
So it’s entirely possible this is old news, but I just discovered it.
A favourite here at SMS Text News, Texperts has teamed up with the Guinness World Records people. Great idea!
I came across this by doing a search on the Guinness website (fine, I admit I was looking to see if there was a current record for longest stint of 5 pin bowling, I’m tempted to set one) and because the Guinness search engine couldn’t find it, I was told to try contacting the Texperts.
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Why not ask the Texperts™ to find the record for you?
Just text GWR plus your question to 66000, and your question will be answered in minutes by a Texpert™. As a Guinness World Records customer, you’ll receive your first 2 answers FREE! (normal charge £1; questions sent to 66000 cost normal text rate).
We have teamed up with the award-winning Texperts™ mobile find service to provide you with the record answers you are looking for on your mobile phone at any time of the day or night.
Only available in the UK of course, but very smart! I like it.
I’ve only been with Texperts a few months but the GWR deal dates back to at least June 2006 and the heady days of 82ask (before the rebrand to Texperts).

GWR seems to have a record on EVERYTHING, its a vast database of obscure facts and makes researching answers for customers a lot of fun.
