How phonewords translate to a phone number

If you look at your telephone keypad, you’ll see that every number (excluding number 1) has a series of letters associated with it. The number 2 is associated with A, B and C, the number 3 associates with D, E and F and so on.  

Phonewords use these letters to form telephone numbers. For example, 1300 MR PHONEWORDS will translate to 1300 677 466 when you press the numbers that correspond to the letters in the name. 

Every day, more and more businesses are turning to phonewords because they are proven much easier to remember than telephone numbers. Shouldn’t you do the same for your business?
