My Father had a ‘car phone’ from 1990-1999ish and switched to a nokia 3210 or similar. While he had the ‘car phone’, he kept a phone book in the car. By the time of the Nokia, his outbound calling was predictable enough that he either had it saved on the phone or he used ‘411’ to have an operator look up the number.

I don’t think I’ve ever called 411, or known anyone who has. I have known about it for ages, but I guess I was always under the impression that it was expensive or something.
