Site for checking words 'hidden' in mobile number?

Sorry, I don't know what this is actually called, however I remember seeing a site some time back which allowed you to enter a mobile phone number and it would tell you what words your number could form.

Eg. all those US infomercials that say things like "If you'd like to speak to someone about prehistoric animals, call 1800-SAURUS now!"

You get my drift.

Any ideas?

    With this one you can enter a few numbers and it suggests words that start with those numbers

    e.g. If you enter 564 it tells you words that can start with 564 letters and how they would end:

    7-letter words

    jogging (564-4464) joggled (564-4533) joggler (564-4537)
    joggles (564-4537) joiners (564-6377) joining (564-6464)
    jointed (564-6833) jointer (564-6837) jointly (564-6859)
    knicker (564-2537) knifing (564-3464) knights (564-4487)
    knitted (564-8833) loggers (564-4377) logging (564-4464)
    logical (564-4225) logions (564-4667) loiters (564-8377)


    8-letter words

    joggling (564-4546) jointing (564-6846) knickers (564-2537)
    knighted (564-4483) knightly (564-4485) knitting (564-8846)
    kohlrabi (564-5722) koinonia (564-6664) logicals (564-4225)
    logician (564-4242) logistic (564-4784) loitered (564-8373)
    loiterer (564-8373)


    I also have a vague memory that Tony_H had a link to this type of site in his signature a while back - but I might be wrong

    https://www.impactnetworks.co.uk which even talks about how a number sounds.

    Any one looking for a mobile no that spells something PM me.I have a suggestion that might help them.
