You used to be able to get a little unit slightly smaller than a fag packet with an LCD display, a keypad and a speaker in it. It had the capacity to store telephone numbers as well as allowing direct dialling.

It was acoustically coupled with the speaker on the telephone handset mic and then activated. I have a Tandy one somewhere.
