Phone keypad

How do I use the letters on the keypad? What is the use of these letters if I can't search for a contact by typing on the keyboard?

The reason why there are letters on the keypad of a phone is because, historically speaking, phone numbers were first consisted of both digits and letters. Because each letter indicated a different number, dialling could be done in a more succinct manner when letters were used.
