Not condescending at all... we could do that, but I wanted to ask the experts in the group if there was a work-around in some way.
The problem also is that emails are read both on a phone and on email. We are getting prepared for a major national marketing campaign, and I was just hoping to find a sweet-n-simple solution to it.
However, it sounds like that's not the case.
If anyone else has a suggestion, I'd like to hear it.
Thanks everyone!

Not to sound condescending but can't you just put the actual number? The
whole purpose behind having a number with a 'keyword' or acronym is so it
is easy to remember when hearing advertising. Putting a number in a
signature so they can tap/click to dial means they don't have to remember
it so putting the actual number in the signature would let them dial and
using the acronym in other advertising would be easy to remember.
Very few if any devices would dial a number with letters in it either in
signature or via text.
