2 = ABC
3 = DEF
4 = GHI
5 = JKL
6 = MNO
7 = PRS
8 = TUV
9 = WXY
As for Q and Z, they're often not used. Sometimes, they're placed on "0," and sometimes you have Q with 7 and Z with 9.
So, for your example, 1-800-RICK, though it could never be a real number, would be 1-800-7425. Real numbers would be longer than that, but you get the idea.
The number for Hooked on Phonics, a way to teach children to read, was 1-800-ABCDEFG. That's 1-800-2223334.
This method isn't only used with 1-800 numbers, it's also used often in just about any local area code, when a business is trying to find an easy phone number for people to remember.

The numbers are on the phone with the alphabet. Look at the buttons. You'll see it.

the alphabet is on your phone's Numbers. Ex. 2 (abc), 3 (def)... and so on.
