How to deal with alphabetic-to-numeric number mapping?

[mattengland]

Any suggestions on how to deal with dialing phone numbers listed as something like 1-800-CALL-TED (a made-up number)?

The 7100 key facad does not list the "standard" way as other phones.

I did not see a FAQ list, so I couldn't search it...so I apologize if this is a FAQ.

I assume you don't since even calling T-Mobile's #MIN# cannot be spelled out. You must dial the actual numbers because of the different key layout.

Just type 1800CallTed using the alt key to type the letters. It'll automatically convert them to the proper numbers. You can try 1800gofedex to test it out.

Sweet...that is an excellent tip. Makes me look foolish for sitting in my car trying to calculate the numbers on the back of an envelope. Okay 2 = ABC, 3 = DEF, etc. LOL!
