I had a problem with a recent order on Zazzle, so I went to their Web site to find their phone number. It’s 1-888-892-9953, but I had no way of figuring that out from the screen I landed on or from the QWERTY keyboard on my cell phone. In the old days Z equaled 9 on the phone, but today’s cell phones don’t hold with the old phone conventions. The alternate for Z on my phone is the equal sign.

I know it’s important to the company to have the company name in the phone number, but the rest of us don’t care so much. List the numbers instead. Thanks!

1-888-8zazzle? What?

UPDATE: Safe Auto!
Because I can’t turn my brain off, I decided to check what 1-800-SAFE-AUTO’s phone would be on my phone. Does “1-800-*/5-1/_3″ look right to you? Guess they’re still hoping people will puzzle over their phones to come up with “1-800-723-3288″.
