Product Description:

What's a Phone Word?
A phone word is a way to represent a phone number by using digits and words made up from the letters that represent the digits in a phone number. You typically see them on commercials where the announcer tells you to dial something like 355-DUNK to purchase basketball tickets. 355-DUNK is a phone word that represents the phone number 355-3865. Phone words make a phone number much easier to remember. This can be very useful in all kinds of advertising or just plain fun. If your lucky you can tell your friends that your phone number is IAM-THEBEST.

What does PhoneWord do?
PhoneWord finds phone words that can be used with existing phone numbers. You may not have to hassle with the phone company and change numbers to have a memorable phone number. PhoneWord can save you money and pain and can be a fun little diversion.

PhoneWord ReviewFair Dissappointing... - Version: 1.3, 1/31/2006 05:55PM PST

Does not spell the first three letters if there is no matching dictionary entry and does not give a complete list, only what is in its dictionary. Paid the fee ($10.00) but it should be freeware until developed. PhoneSpell was WAY better and worth $10!

Why not give ALL possible words?Even if they don't "make sense." For example, my prefix spells VH1, my cllients easily remember that and the last word (VERY relavant and memorable). But the VH1 does not show up.

Me thinks it thinks too much! Get rid of the dictionary and simply create a list of ALL the spellings and I would hughly recommend the program.
