The other day I was driving down the road and needed to dial an 1-800-ABCD number, the only problem is I couldn't dial that number because we have the full key board and I didn't know which number represented that letter...
I realize I could get on my browser and type in delta.com or whatever the 1-800 number was and find it but my question is there an app or someway to see the letters represented by each number?
so i just tried calling 1-800-delta, I typed 1800 then held alt d alt e alt l alt t alt a and hit send and it didn't work....
That b/c delta isnt a real phone number. DELTA is only 5 charcters a phone number is 7.. I just called 773 202 LUNA and I typed the word LUNA out I didnt use numbers and it worked just fine.
so i just tried calling 1-800-delta, I typed 1800 then held alt d alt e alt l alt t alt a and hit send and it didn't work....
Weird - it just worked for me when I called fedex. At the risk of stating the obvious, you said you dialed "1-800-DELTA" and hit send. You do realize that what you dialed is missing two numbers, right? Are you sure you dialed the entire number?

Thanks CafeRacer-- This is great information and I appreciate your help, my dumb*** was trying to call 1-800-DELTA and not realizing I forgot 2 numbers, lol...opps, its saturday!!
You don't need to use the alt key just type it in like it reads and your BB will do the rest. 1-800-BES-TBUY works like a charm.
Enjoy!

Uhhhh, I'm not so sure about that. Just tried what you suggested on mine and trying to dial with the letter keys alone (no Alt) does absolutely nothing. Besides, if you tried to dial for the letter C, for example, the phone will dial 9 for you instead unless you're pressing the Alt key.
Hope this isn't overstating the obvious, but you can hit alt+shift before typing the letters, rather than holding alt, or tapping it before each letter.

yup, that works too! but like i said before, i don't think it's possible to dial letters without holding the alt key. shaylguul, if you figured out another way of doing this, please let us know. i'm always down to learn cool new shiite for my berry!
Wish there was a way for it to work for texts too, but I can't seem to figure that out. There aren't many text numbers that use letters for identification, so it's not that big of a deal, but when I wanted to text "chacha" the other day to ask them a question, i had to figure out the numbers myself. Hitting alt brought the letters up, but there was no option to send an sms text.
Yeah that's a good point re this not working with SMS. I guess if you want to text something like "chacha", you're best off creating a contact for it ahead of time.
