What's a word-number?
We consider a word number to be a phone number that can be represented by one or more words - most mobile phones and landlines have a series of letters associated with each numerical digit, so some phone numbers spell out a word if you transcribe each digit.
i.e. 555-callme is a word number, with the corresponding phone number 555-225563 (at least it would be if 555 was a real phone number prefix.)
You can convert a word into a number by using the gadget to the right of this message.
What's the point of word numbers?
- Word numbers can be used for marketing purposes (they're easy to remember)
