    Can't say i've ever heard of it tbh. Sounds new-ish. I'm assuming its .co.uk from Coventry. An LLP? I can't see it surviving as 118 do a similar thing and have an app to solve those tricky pub quizes. They have an ask our gurus/ask us anything/text us the question facility. Looks too small scale to be of any value. Not a strong enough brand (but thats my personal opinion).

    Quext - very good luck! I know tens of people who have applied and not got in at the final stage. I'm sure somebody on here said it was self-employed at around 10p per answer with very strict quality control.

    It's self employed but 30p per answer. I personally wouldn't bother applying. I got through all stages but as they have no position, I am on a waiting list and have been for about a year. Contacted them again last month asking if any positions coming up and they said not at the moment...

    I used to work for a similar company called AQA a few years back and it was great to do.

    I've heard that these question answering services are slowly dying out nowadays due to the smart phone. I used to get loads of questions asking for phone numbers and train times etc, but why pay £1.50 to get this when you can install a free app or go on the internet for free via your iphone?

    I'd imagine all similar companies aren't actively recruiting, due to their question volumes dropping off.
    Whilst my posts do not constitute financial advice, I am always, without fail, 100% right! :D
