Whiz is a parody of [[wp:Verizon Wireless|Verizon]], as they are both the top network in their worlds and their names sound similar and on one of their radio commercials, they have a person saying "Can you see my junk now?

Whiz is a slang term for urine, which explains the yellowish liquid in the background of the logo. In GTA V, the company operates pay phones around [[Los Santos (HD Universe)|Los Santos]].

Whiz is a parody of Verizon, as they are both the top network in their worlds and their names sound similar and on one of their radio commercials, they have a person saying "Can you see my junk now? Good." which is very similar to Verizon's "Can you hear me now? Good." commercials. In GTA IV, Niko Bellic starts with a Badger phone until Playboy X gives him a better 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. Whiz is a slang term for urine, which explains the yellowish liquid in the background of the logo. In GTA V, the company operates pay phones around Los Santos.
