Whiz Wireless

Whiz Wireless is a phone company that appears in GTA IV. It competes with Tinkle for dominance in the wireless market, using the slogan "Whiz is stronger than Tinkle" (this makes fun of the fact that both names are slang terms for urinating).

Whiz could be a parody of Sprint, as both companys' names mean "to move quickly", and they share a color scheme of yellow and black. However, Whiz could be a parody of Verizon, as they are both the top network in their worlds and their names sound similar.

In the game, Niko Bellic starts with a Badger phone until Playboy X gives him a Whiz phone in the "Photo Shoot" mission to take a picture of a snitch. The new phone is both better looking than the old phone and has a Camera, allowing Niko to take pictures.
