Numeric Domains63 Numbers
More and more people are learning how fun and easy it is to access the Internet on their cell phones and othe mobile devices. Cell phones are quickly becoming the preferred method to snap photos, stay in touch with peers, surf the net, watch TV, play games, listen to music ... and even to chat.
However, to many people just starting to enjoy the wireless Web, it can be a frustrating process.
On billions of non-qwerty cell phones worldwide, the dial pad numbers 2 through 9 represent letters of the alphabet. The number 2 represents "a," "b" or "c." The 7 represents "p," "q," "r" or "s," etc. Entering a numeric string and adding .com completes the numeric domain.
To access Web sites using your cell phone:
* open your cell phone browser
* enter the URL or the domain name, add the extension (ex. .com)
* press the 'go' or 'send' button.
Not too difficult if it's a short URL, but what if you want to go to site with a longer URL?
You’ll could be very busy tapping the number keys multiple times to get to the letters you need in order to enter long URL addresses.
Multi-tapping buttons to get to the right letters and waiting for the cursor to move to the next position can be time consuming and very frustrating.
Numeric Domains
Whatever language you use, you can easily log on to a mobile web site using a numeric domain, instead of the actual word. That’s because handsets all have numeric keypads, even though they may have different symbols for typing the alphabet.
