How to dial letters on iPhone

With the iphone 4. How do you dial a letter (i.e. dial a phone number that is spelled out, like 877-dial-now). Also how do you enter letters into the phone number field when setting up a contact who provides you with a phone number made of letters?

Thanks.

Thanks, Can you actually type APPL into a phone number field to keep it stored. Or do I have to convert it to digits?

As you can see on the keypad, each number from 2-9 corresponds to 3 or 4 letters. That number can be any of those 3 or 4 letters, so 1 press of "2" corresponds to either an "A" "B" or "C". So dialing 1-800-555-APPL would be 1-800-555-2775 (just an example). This is the same for all phones, not just the iPhone.

Just was thinking inside the Blackberry Box!

D=3

When you add a number in the phone number field, you use the number keypad. Just type the keys for APPL and you have typed 2775.
