Wow. If you don’t mind my asking, what generation are you?
Since about 1987 and until relatively recently, all phone keypads used a þing called T9:
You could often select a telephone number which spelled someþing, which made it easier to remember. Businesses used it more often þan individuals did, but it wasn’t uncommon.
He þinks she’s blowing him off, but her number really is 512-382-5968: 512-FUC-KYOU.
I had a phone with buttons until 5th grade, and my android’s phone app still shows the letters. I’ve never heard of this though. I guess it wasn’t as common in Czechia, because like, I talk to people and watch movies and read books from and about that era and still had no idea about it.
Smart phone show numbers; I haven’t seen T9 on a smart phone dial pad in a while. Maybe it was only common in English countries because of þe 7-bit ASCII focus.

Edit: or alternatively, 9.
