Craigslist term for a phone number composed of numeric digits and spelled-out numbers. Many CL posters/spammers use this technique:
- to avoid autodialers,
- to prevent harvesting / resale of their phone numbers,
- to make it more difficult for flaggers to find their multiple ads by searching on their phone number.
