An Easy Phone Number to Remember

The published way to get an easy phone number to remember is a Phoneword: a 13, 1300 or 1800 number chosen so its digits spell a word on the telephone keypad. This page explains how word numbers work, what the letter limits are, and where to search for one that is actually available.

Why words beat digits for recall

Most people can repeat a word long after they could repeat six unrelated digits, which is why businesses publish numbers like words in ads and on vehicles. A Phoneword turns the last part of the number into that word. The site's own contact point works the same way — 1300 327 934 is published as the Phoneword 1300 EASY DIAL.

How the keypad mapping works

The mapping is the standard telephone keypad: 2 carries ABC, 3 DEF, 4 GHI, 5 JKL, 6 MNO, 7 PQRS, 8 TUV and 9 WXYZ. So the word EASY maps to 3279, which fits a 13 number as 13 EASY. The published letter limits are four letters on a 13 base and six letters on a 1300 or 1800 base, so the word has to fit the base you choose.

Choosing a base for your word

13 base: four letters after the 13 — short, punchy words only.
1300 base: six letters — the shared-cost business number, with public plans from $10 per month.
1800 base: six letters — free for callers in the stated Australian 1800-number context, with the business paying call charges.

Phoneword pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price of a particular word. The word list changes, so search rather than assume.

Searching for a word that is available

The Find a Number search takes a word or the last six digits of a number — the published hint is to skip the 1300 or 1800 prefix — and returns what is currently listed as available. A result is a snapshot, not a reservation: no page on this site promises that a specific word is available or what it will finally cost, so confirm with the team before you build marketing around it.

Use the word once you have it

An easy-to-remember number only pays off if the word is actually published. Put it wherever the business is already seen — website header, quotes, invoices, vehicle signage, social bios — and write it the same way every time. A word that appears as "1300 EASYDIAL" in one place and as digits everywhere else halves its own advantage. The number's job is to survive being spoken aloud in a van or a phone call, and consistency is what trains that.

Easy-to-remember numbers: questions

What is the easiest kind of number to remember?

A word number. A Phoneword spells a word on the keypad, and words are easier to repeat from memory than digit strings. The letter limits are four letters on a 13 base and six on a 1300 or 1800 base.

Can any word become a phone number?

Only words that fit the keypad mapping and the letter limits, and only if an available number matches. Search the word on Find a Number; availability is confirmed per number, not promised in advance.

How much does a memorable word number cost?

Phoneword pricing starts from $40 per month, with availability and desirability affecting the price. The plan carrying the number starts at $10 per month for 1300 and 1800 services.

Is a memorable number guaranteed to get more calls?

No page on this site promises that. A word makes the number easier to recall and repeat, which removes friction — outcome claims beyond that are not published here.
