What are phone numbers that spell words?
A Phoneword is a phone number that spells a word using the letters on a telephone keypad. 1300 Easy Dial describes Phonewords as using a 13, 1300 or 1800 number to spell a word. For example, the letters printed with the digits on a phone let a caller map a word to its corresponding number sequence.
A Phoneword is a category of business number, not a promise of a particular business result. The useful question is whether a word is available and whether its current price fits your decision. Published Phoneword pricing starts from $40 per month, and availability and desirability can affect the price. It is sensible to compare the current result before using a word in business materials or published contact details.
How Phoneword keypad spelling works
Telephone keypads group letters with digits: 2 is ABC, 3 is DEF, 4 is GHI, 5 is JKL, 6 is MNO, 7 is PQRS, 8 is TUV and 9 is WXYZ. A Phoneword uses those letter groups to represent a word as a dialled number.
The word does not need to replace the underlying number. It is simply a way to show a 13, 1300 or 1800 number using the letters associated with the keypad. For a fuller category explanation, see Phonewords.
