Kind of makes me wonder when they will give up on phone numbers and just use your name or other identifer.
Back in the pre-computer days, they needed a way to route the call and saying call aunt jinny, wouldn't help if the operator didn't know who aunt jinny was.
In the modern world, it's really not that hard for the phone to remember who aunt jimmy is and handle the routing without you ever needing to know a number (first time you call, you may need to provide her full name and maybe a home city)
