666-6666", and you get a huge list, including things like "

Other interesting possibilities are finding new mnemonics for for phone numbers that already have them. For instance, "1-800-CALL-ATT" becomes "1-800-BALL-BUTT" or "1-800-CALL-AT-8", "1-800-COLLECT" becomes "1-800-BOLL-FAT", "1-888-A1-STEAK" becomes "1-888-A1-PUEBLO".
Curiously, the number for the White House, 202-456-1414, seems to contain no English words... Well, not that curiously, since 0 and 1 have no associated letters.
