1-800 "Word" Numbers

Several months ago, we encouraged readers to send in their favorite list of "word numbers," that is, phone numbers that also spell out words.

One of our readers, Any Mouse of Illinois, came up with this list of toll-free word numbers.

Feel free to send us your list - remember, they don't have to spell what the company on the other end wants them to spell!

Numbers like 1-800-RIP-OFFS or 1-800-DUMB-ASS are perfectly O.K. with us.

Since these are 800 numbers, they may not be reachable from all locations.
