Do You Still Use a Phonebook?
« on: July 16, 2013, 10:01:43 am »
Do you still use a phonebook or look your phone numbers up online?  I try to use FusionCash search to get phone numbers for businesses as much as possible now but still have phonebooks on hand in case I need a residential number.  I still receive a new phonebook each year even though we haven't had a landline in our house for ten years now.  Like us, a lot of people have done away with home phones and aren't listed in the book.
Have a wonderful day!

I stopped using phone books a very long time ago and use the internet to find what I need.  It's really amazing but, Phoenix seems to have at least 20 different phone books.  At one point, I had to use an entire cabinet just to save all of these phone books.  I got so disgusted I threw them all out.  Even though they gave us the chance to say whether or not we wanted to receive these books anymore and I opted NOT to receive them, I still found them outside my front door on too many occasions.  Now when I find them, they go directly into the recycling bin.

I sometimes use a phonebook but not often.  I usually use the internet to look up a number.

   If I do not have Internet connection, I use the old-fashion paper phonebook. If I have Internet, I Google: SuperPages.com . It is a busniness directory online.
