Companies enjoy giving out phone numbers in terms of letters, based on the traditional numerical keypad.
However, more and more phones use a Qwerty keyboard. The letters do not match with numbers in the way intended.
I realized this when I joined Sprint’s Boost Mobile and bought a Motorola Clutch i465 with Qwerty. I was given a phone number to start my account. The “number” was : 888 Boost 4 u.
Hmmm. On a normal keypad, that translates to 266-7848. But on a Qwerty there is no possible translation… so maybe numbers should be given out as numbers.
