How do you translate letters to phone numbers on Pearl?

I have a Blackberry Pearl, and often people have their phone numbers listed with letters to spell something.

I realized, the Pearl's keyboard has no letters that associate to the numbers!

How does one convert them when they do not have a regular phone to look at?

Hold down the alt key and spell the word, the BlackBerry will automatically assign each letter to its numeric value.

Just type in the letters and the BB will automatically dial the apropriate number.

Not to thread-jack but I had a question for dialing numbers such as 1800-NBA-TIXX. Anyone have a better idea than me? I go to Google Images and look for a phonepad.

Thanks!! Learn something new about my Blackberry every day.

One tid-bit, when typing letters like that, actually HOLD down the ALT key and press the letter twice of the 2nd letter on the PEARL... It took me a while to figure that one out.
