Notes

• The old mnemonic system used in the early- to mid-20th century in the U.S. took the first two letters of a word and mapped them into two numbers. For easy translation, here are the numbers for each letter (using the modern ITU E 1.161 system that has all the earlier letters in the same place, but adds the Q and Z that were omitted from old telephone dials):
• ABC: 2
• DEF: 3
• GHI: 4
• JKL: 5
• MNO: 6
• PQRS: 7
• TUV: 8
• WXYZ: 9
• The North American Numbering Plan reserves the exchange prefix 555- for use in fictitious telephone numbers, in an attempt to prevent the problems caused by the use of real numbers in films, television, or music.
• Song titles from other countries may use different keypad mnemonics to spell out phone numbers. The number listed for each song should reflect the expected use.
