If you see a phone number with letters in it, you’re probably familiar with it. Your dialer lacks letters, so it might seem confusing. Is this what it means and how to dial letters on iPhone? Numbers are exchanged for letters to make them easier to remember, a tradition dating back decades.
To accomplish this, you simply need to enter the numbers corresponding to the letters. Below is the detail about the numbers and letters.
How To Dial Letters On iPhone?
I won’t tell you how to turn them into people, but I will tell you how to transform them into people. If you take a look at the dialer in the Phone app, you will see that you have the option to change letters into digits quite easily. Each of the digits 2 through 9 are given three or four letters beneath it, as you can see.
Did you ever use the old monoblock phone with the physical keypad? Then this will be familiar to you. There is a single exception to this rule; you do not have to press the same letter multiple times. Each Letter on the bottom of the page gets the same number.
Now let’s test it out in the real world. You can reach Apple by calling 1-800-555-APPL (or it was at one time). You will notice that the second part of the number is made up of letters instead of digits, which is not the case with most phone numbers. The following are the digits we must transform into letters in order to call this number:
- It is necessary to start the Phone app by tapping the Phone icon. After tapping the Phone icon, you are greeted with a numeric dial pad.
- Once that is done, you will be able to find the first letter of the phone number. You’ll find three or four letters under every number on the Keypad, corresponding to a different number. For instance, 2 is the second letter of “A,” B,” and C.”
- Next, you should tap the letter corresponding to the key you just tapped. You can, for example, tap 2 to represent letter A, 7 to represent letter P, or 5 for letter L.
- Finally, you can tap Call to call the number after converting the other letters into digits.
In the iPhone keypad, you can see that each of the numbers 2-9 is represented by three or four letters. Each of those 3 or 4 letters could represent a number. The number 1-800-555-APPL becomes 1-800-555-2775 when dialed. Likewise, this applies to all phones, including the iPhone.
