We're now taking all jingle submissions for Uber's new phone number. 

The expression "calling an Uber" just got real with the ride-hailing app's new phone number to book a ride. 

Starting Thursday, anyone in Arizona can call 1-833-USE-UBER (that's 1-833-873-8237) to book an UberX, Comfort, Black, SUV, and Assist or WAV rides in some cities for people who need assistance or who use a wheelchair. 

The number is supposed to help those without a smartphone or who don't or can't use the Uber app, for whatever reason.
