It simply means that you should dial the number that corresponds to the letters on the phone pads For instance a,b or c will mean that you punch 2; d,e or f will mean 3 and so on and so forth.

Dual Core
Re: Are These Numbers Really Diallable Or What Do They Mean?

Use this table

abc = 2
def = 3
ghi = 4
jkl = 5
mno = 6
pqrs = 7
tuv = 8
wxyz = 9

Usage:
080dualcore
from the above table, substitute the alphabets with corresponding number

for 080dualcore

d falls under 3
u falls under 8
a falls under 2
l falls under 5
c falls under 2
o falls under 6
r falls under 7
e falls under 3

therefore, 080dualcore (by substitution) =  08038252673

Thanks Dclique and co for the funny abuses Cheesy but lets see who is the bushman now Grin Grin, if i'll be going by scottN and hayprof examples then there would be a problem

See the examples

Instance 1: Company A uses a customised number as  0806friends which you say if translated will give  08063743637

And          Company B uses a customised number too as 0806fodipes which still when translated will give 08063743637

wont they all arrive at the same number which is 08063743637

so who becomes the bush man now? Grin Grin
