Why were the Q qnd Z the two letters missing from the old telephones?

Telephone numbers were once assigned letters to make them easier to remember. The letters represented the area the number was assigned to. For example SYcamore 4 or Pennsylvania 6. The letters Q and Z were not included because they were the least common letters to be used.

∙ 9y agoPhones from as early as the 1930s do have all of the letters: Q was on the 7 with PRS and Z was on the 9 with WXY. These letters were used in some of the trunk prefixes in the US that were abbreviated as two letters in front of the line number (e.g. Quincy: QU-3456, Beachwood4: BE4-5789).
On some, there was no room for them on the dial pad and they are the two least used letters of the alphabet. And there was no texting with old phones.
