Dialing the Apple, Inc default entry doesn't work due to number having letters in it. #50

My address book has 1 800 MY APPLE as the number for Apple, Inc.  The phone 
dials just 1800 and 
not the rest.  An api to translate the letters to numbers would solve this.

You are american ;-)
In Europe we don't use these number ;-)

But I think it's not difficult to do this. Could you confirm :
1 800 My APPLE = 1 800 69 27753

Yes dialing like that works but a simple char to dtmf digit function can 
convert the values rather easily.   The 
default vcard in addressbook for apple has 1800 MY APPLE in it.  :(

The char for DTMF are 0-9, *, # A-D
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-tone_multi-frequency)
So you can't use DTMF to call 1800 My Apple.
And SIP is digital/computer protocol with message.

Yes I know what DTMF is and also know that this is a sip phone and shouldn't be 
limited to dialing numbers.   
The simple solution is to have a function to convert any char to the DTMF digit 
internally as a convenience 
feature.  What if I have direct SIP URI's in my addressbook... those wouldn't 
dial either.  Just a thought.

I also just tested the addressbook appears to let you store SIP URI's along 
with numbers... ie sip:brian@bkw.org

The numbers from address book are modified before call like that :
  - 1800-MY-APPLE give 18006927753
  - characters ' -()/.' are removed

If you call with SIP URI (sip:[username|phonenumber]@[sip_provider]) there are 
no
transformation.
