Phones have had numbers on the keypads (or dials) since long before smart phones. In the U.S., phone numbers used to be designated by named exchanges. Where I grew up, one of the common ones was Lawrence. A number would be listed in the phone book as LA5-1212. Now, it's mostly so that you can dial numbers that are advertised words, like 1-800-FLOWERS.

You mean that few numbers are alpha-numeric combination in old days.

If that is the reason, Why do i not able to enter alphabets from dial pad?

For example, if we think like alpha-numeric numbers are not present now so that mobile designed as not allowing us to enter alphabets from dial pad. But instead of giving alphabets on dial pad....it should disappear.
