Honestly, I think the US is the only country that does this, and when I lived there I thought it was really daft.

In Australia lots of organisations have numbers 1300 HEALTH for example.

Especially when no one is seeing these anywhere but on a smart phone that can parse the number as a phone number without the stupid phone words but not with them.

My cousin from Lawn Guyland was visiting CA and called 411 to get a phone number. The number started with 825, but the 411 operator pronounced it as "H-U-5", which my cousin tried to dial as 485. (I got the same operator once, but I knew that people didn't use letters in CA.)

Thank you!!!! I suspect they are still hangovers back from the old texting on the Nokia 3310 days when I probably could instinctively just dial the number

This is older than cell phones. I saw numbers like this in the 1970s. To make it even more complicated, exchanges were named, and they would spell out the name, followed by the number, like KLondike5-1212.

India hasn’t had this concept so someone seems to have decided to try now
