If your account number contains a letter, enter the letter by pressing the asterisk (*) followed by the key on which the letter appears, and then the number corresponding to the position of the letter on that key. For example, if your account number is 1G1111, press 1, *41, 1, 1, 1, 1.
Please use the following numeric alphabet guide as a reference. To access each letter, you will need to enter two numbers. First, enter the number of the phone button on which the letter appears. Then press 1, 2 or 3 to indicate whether the letter is in the first, second or third position on that button. For example, you would press *41 for the letter "G," since "G" appears on the 4 key in position 1. Note: there are exceptions for the letters Q, R, S and Z as indicated below.
