And most people have regular cell phones where the “old way” still applies. Come on Tony, I would expect more thought on this post from a guy with “Chief” in his title.

Well your point is relevant only if you plan on actually calling the number the moment you pass the billboard (which is usually not the case).

While this makes for an interesting post, the reality is the billboard actually works!! You DID remember the number (and that is the point)!! Oh yeah, if you look at your office phone or home phone, AMAZINGLY you can dial the number!!

I have the same phone, same problem. I was going to call COMCAST 1-800-com-cast to express some dissatisfaction with them .. now I need to make two calls.

My wife always laughs at me when I borrow her basic phone in the car to make a call because my “Smartphone” is too hard to use. Maybe someday they’ll make a billboard that just beams it’s number to my phone.

I have a Blackberry with a QWERTY keyboard. When I have to dial numbers with letters in them I literally dial the letters. I press the alt key to enter letters instead of numbers. Press send, viola, the correct numbers are dialed. Have you tried that on your blackjack?

I don’t have a blackjack to try this out on, but you can see if this works. http://www.i607.org/wiki/doku.php?id=alpha-numeric_dialing

My advice-get a Blackberry or Treo!!

Ah, yes. Just one of many reasons why I love my iPhone…

…it has both.

This drives me absolutely crazy; I thought that I was the only one that thought this was a problem. All of our LifeChurch.tv campuses end w/ – - – Life. I just have to remember the 5433 part. :-)
