Two letters, and five numbers were used (such as PEnnsylvania 6-5000) from about 1930 into the 1960s. This is a guide to using a rotary phone from that era. (lemmy.world)

My number growing up was a PR5 (PRimrose 5) or 775. Using the letters for the first two numbers was pretty much standard in those days.
