well,wat i have done switch break statement where we can convert from characters to num....but frankly no idea on how to go reverse....
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
int sentence;
int scount = 0;/*Counts if the characters are less or equal to 80*/
/*Warns the user to only enter alphabets or space*/
printf("Enter your sentence:");
printf("(You can enter either uppercase or \nlowercase alphabets!!");
printf("Entering anything other than alphabets \nand ");
printf("spaces will terminate program!\n");
while (((sentence=getchar())!='\0')&& scount<=81)
{
switch (sentence)
{
case 'A':
case 'a':
case 'B':
case 'b':
case 'C':
case 'c':
++sPtr;
printf("2");
break;
case 'D':
case 'd':
case 'E':
case 'e':
case 'F':
case 'f':
++sPtr;
printf( "3");
break;
case 'G':
case 'g':
case 'H':
case 'h':
case 'I':
case 'i':
++sPtr;
printf("4");
break;
case 'J':
case 'j':
case 'K':
case 'k':
case 'L':
case 'l':
++sPtr;
printf("5");
break;
case 'M':
case 'm':
case 'N':
case 'n':
case 'O':
case 'o':
++sPtr;
printf( "6");
break;
case 'P':
case 'p':
case 'Q':
case 'q':
case 'R':
case 'r':
case 'S':
case 's':
++sPtr;
printf("7");
break;
case 'T':
case 't':
case 'U':
case 'u':
case 'V':
case 'v':
++sPtr;
printf("8");
break;
case 'W':
case 'w':
case 'X':
case 'x':
case 'Y':
case 'y':
case 'Z':
case 'z':
++sPtr;
printf("9");
break;
case ' ':
++scount;
printf("1");
break;
case '\n':
case '\t':
printf("\n");
break;
default:
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); /*Ends program if encounters anything other
than alphabets or spaces*/
} /*exit switch*/
}/*exit while*/
return 0;

The code you posted seems to be going the other way -- from "home" to 4663.
