Before cellphones you had to guess which building the person was in and call that, instead of just calling the person. Or you could leave a voicemail at their house and they'd maybe get back to you at some point in the next week or so.

If it was an emergency and you couldn't get them, you'd call everyone you could think of who was in the general area of where they might have been, and send them out to look for them.

You could answer a ringing pay phone and then try to find the person being called.
