What is a phone word?

A phone word is a telephone number that spells out a word or phrase on a standard telephone keypad.

All 26 letters of the alphabet can be represented using the digits 2 to 9 on a modern telephone keypad. Almost all telephones show the letters corresponding to each digit on the keypad.

For example, 1300-DIAL-ME corresponds to 1300-3425-63.
