How Word Numebrs Work

It’s not genius. It just feels that way.

How does word numbers work?

Word numbers are phone numbers made up of a combination of memorable letters and numerals to help entrench your brand in your market and the minds of your customers. The letters in your chosen word correspond to numbers on a phone keypad that a customer can use to decode a phone number quickly and easily. A business chooses word numbers which reflect their brand, their core service offering or something else memorable about them to help customers think of them first and, hopefully, recall a business telephone number instantly. Recent studies into the effectiveness of word numbers by Roy Morgan Research revealed that 92% of Australians were aware of word numbers by February 2006*. That was just two years after they were officially introduced to Australia by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) in August 2004. That’s a big awareness jump! It’s been estimated that call volume can double when using word numbers or Phone Name.

Advertising and marketing for your business comes in a variety of forms and a word phone number can be a valuable, cost-effective and long-term investment for your business. The longer your business is associated with an easily recalled and intuitive phone number, the stronger your brand message becomes and the longer it is likely to last in your desired market.

There is no additional software or hardware requirements. Our system works with your infrastructure and existing providers. The internet is not required to answer calls. You have the option of generating a national toll-free number (1800 phone words) or national 1300 phone words. Calls received to your smart word phone number are routed to whatever destination you need including other landline numbers or mobile numbers. Set up working hours and rules which direct customers to the appropriate responder at the appropriate time and never miss a customer call again.

No additional software/app or hardware needed. Works through your
existing mobile/landline provider. Does not require the internet to answer calls
