Please help me what ASKS means here.
Thank you.

It's just part of the phone number. Google for telephone numbers including letters or similar. I'm on my phone so I'll leave you to try that.

: This is exactly right. It's a phone number shown with the letters corresponding to the numbers on the keypad. Presumably, ASKS has some meaningful connection to the business or service that owns the number. ASKS seems to be the 3rd sg. of the verb "ask."

: Many organizations try to have that kind of number because it is easier for people to remember.

first three ### area code and they have converted the last four digits into a word, the four numbers in parenthesis should match each letter (think of an older telephone keypad)...if this is correct then the last 4 digits should be2757...
