Actually Moviephone predated widespread cell phone usage. It was just seen as a novel AND useful way of getting movie times.

- dragonwriter 7y ago> Actually Moviephone predated widespread cell phone usage. Also, predated the Web. It was founded in 1989. > There was no Google, you had to look through the paper and find ads for individual theaters to know where and when movies were screening. Not so much “look through”, theater listings were on a distinct page or group of pages, depending on the size of the market covered by the paper.
