What happens to the phone number I have now?
Nothing! You will still be able to use your existing telephone number. Your new Phone Word can be set up to ring to your existing line. You don’t even need to have a separate line or any extra equipment for a Phone Word.
What if my preferred Phone Word is longer than a telephone number?
You are able to choose a Phone Word that is slightly longer than a standard telephone number. This is possible because after you have entered the prefix of a number (13, 1300 or 1800), the telephone recognises how many digits are needed to complete the number and will begin dialing, even if a few extra numbers are typed afterward. This is called ‘overdialling’.
For example the number for the Phone Word below is shorter than the actual word but this doesn’t matter when you dial the number because the phone picks up that two extra numbers have been dialed and ignores them.
| 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | A | L | P | H | A | P | H | O | N | E | Phone Word |
| 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 7 | 4 | 2 | 7 | Actual Phone Number |
