Ditto. The letters underneath the numbers are as anchronistic as the old telephone exchanges. When I was a boy, I think they were "MU" for mutual, and "OX for Oxford, then five numbers.

If it weren't for people texting on un-smart phones, the letters would have been as extinct and obsolete as Roman numerals by now. I wouldn't use them as a marketing tool because it totally annoys people who have to think what the _____ letters translate to as numbers in the phone number. I have actually done business elsewhere because the phone I was using didn't have the letters and thought to myself - screw the ____ letters I don't have time to figure it out.

If I were going to use a telephone number as a marketing device, I'd request 867-5309 because it is one of the most recognizable numbers. Or it was in the 80's.
