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 sold to Croftacre Holdings Ltd in September 2004,[2][3] originally named 118866 Ltd. and later operating as RingTrue Solutions before winding-up in 2008.[4] 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[5][6] and 2002,[7][8] before withdrawing from the US market entirely.[9]

Since August 2016, the company is called 11880 Solutions. Meanwhile, it no longer operates in international markets, but only in Germany.
