Telegate (FWB: TGT) is a communications company based in Martinsried, Germany, providing directory assistance services to callers in Germany, Spain, and Italy.
Telegate was founded in August 1996 and began offering services in Germany in December of the same year, initially through the number 01199, and later through the number 11880.
Besides providing services in Germany, Italy and Spain, Telegate was formerly a provider of directory assistance service in the United Kingdom and the United States. Telegate's UK operation was spun off into a separate company, originally named 118866 Ltd. This company now operates under the name RingTrue Solutions. Telegate entered the US market in 2000 through its purchase of CFW Information Services, formerly a subsidiary of CFW Communications. Telegate closed the former CFW call centers in 2001 and 2002,[1] before withdrawing from the US market entirely.[2]
