This service converts a phone number into easy to remember words.
Many telephone keypads have letters with the numbers, from which words, names, acronyms, abbreviations or alphanumeric combinations can be formed.
These words are known as phonewords. Phonewords are easier to remember than a meaningless sequence of numbers.
For example:
212-272-5263 becomes a-1-barb-lane
Businesses use phonewords in advertisements on television, billboard or radio.
