When you are trying to call somewhere, and they put letters instead of numbers.

What is the phone number? Why do they do this to me?

I very rarely have to use the phone to call businesses any more. But when I do need to, almost every time they have some wacky mnemonic number to call, and don’t publish the actual digits I need, so I have to stare at the phone and try to transpose it, and copy and paste doesn’t work.

So created this cli command phonenumber. Type the number, and it returns the actual digits you need to punch into the phone.

$ phonenumber 1-800-get-help
1-800-get-help
1-800-438-4357
