- Keypad mapping: letters to digits

In-words questions
How do you write a 1300 number in words?
Map the word's letters to keypad digits — 2 ABC, 3 DEF, through 9 WXYZ — and the digits after 1300 are determined. The result is a phoneword: same number, spelled as a word.
Do word versions cost more?
Yes — phonewords are a premium tier from $40 a month, because memorable spellings are scarce. Specific words are sourced by auction, which can take a couple of weeks.
Do callers dial the word or the digits?
Either — keypads print the letters under the digits, and smartphones accept letters directly. The call behaves exactly like the standard 1300 number underneath.
Can any word become a 1300 number?
Only words whose letters map to available digit sequences — and scarcity varies. Search the available pool or talk to us about sourcing a specific word.
A 1300 number written in words is a phoneword, and the trick is older than smartphones: every keypad letter maps to a digit — 2 carries ABC, 3 carries DEF, 7 carries PQRS, 9 carries WXYZ — so any word whose letters fit can be written as, and dialled as, a 1300 number. The digits do the routing; the word does the remembering.
The mapping, quickly
Write your word, read each letter off the keypad, and the six digits after 1300 are determined. Reading in reverse works too: scan the available pool's numbers as letters and the words hiding inside them appear. Modern diallers close the loop — callers can type the word directly, and the phone converts it.
The costs and the catches
Phonewords are the premium tier: from $40 a month, above standard 1300 plans, because memorable spellings are scarce. Specific words are typically sourced through an auction-style process that can take a couple of weeks, so a brand-critical word needs an early start. Underneath the word, everything bills as a normal 1300: shared cost, callers up to the local call rate, per-second charges on the business side — the model in 1300 number cost and pricing.
Finding yours
Search the available numbers pool for your word or its digits — what appears is connectable now. If the exact word is not free, the auction route is the fallback; the mechanics and the search tips are in 1300 numbers in words and phonewords. The product behind the word is at 1300 numbers.
