Phone Names or Phone Words?
Phone Names and Phone Words are both alphanumeric equivalents of a numeric telephone number. They are made up from the various letters of the alphabet that correspond to particular numbers on a telephone keypad. These letters can form a word, a partial word, an acronym, abbreviation, or an alphanumeric combination.
While the terms are used interchangeably, there is a difference between the two products.
A Phone Name spells the name of a company (such as 1300 Telstra) where a Phone Word refers to a generic industry phrase (such as 1300 Internet). The different products suit different types of businesses and using the table below, we can help you to determine which product is right for you.
Since we provide both products, call us for advice. Simply punch in 1300 Australia on your telephone keypad to talk with a friendly expert who can help you make your choice.
