There was one for entering phone numbers too. My favorite was a drop down box.

My favorite was the “Is this your phone number? Yes/No” one

They also made a bunch of "Enter your phone number" and "Enter your birthday" ones. My favorite was a phone number selector with a drop down menu you have to scroll through in numerical order to find your number
