How do ask any question text services work?

there are a few text services that claim that they can answer any question you ask - how do they work?
what would happen if i asked things like what is my name? and things like that

You send questions to the service by texting from your cellphone or emailing directly from a portable smartphone, and answers are sent back to your phone or hand-held via Short Messaging Services (SMS) or email within about a minute.

Usually they answer your questions, the company employs real people who sit at computers, furiously researching the Internet (using data from content partnerships) trying to respond to your queries within a few minutes. This doesn鈥檛 always mean the response is correct. It simply means that the retrieved information was online somewhere. But results are normally proved rather accurate.

If your question has been asked before, it鈥檚 more likely to get a faster response because its answer is already on file. They normally reserve the right to not answer questions that aren鈥檛 family friendly. The service sometimes answers opinion questions using opinions posted online, but they would have trouble with some questions.

I figure if you asked what is your name they'd probably try to give you a wise guy response like "the name you were born with". Maybe they won't I am not sure. So there may be questions they don't answer at all due something in their terms and conditions.

Hope this helps.
