I have not used a phonebook for the purpose of phone numbers for years.  It is much easier to look on line.  I find that the books end up in the recycling and not used.

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.
I have not had a phonebook delivered to my house in years,   so i guess no

I still use a phone book for local numbers and use the internet for long distance numbers and addresses. We're so lucky (NOT!). We get 2 phone books from 2 different companies. One has printing so small, you need a magnifying glass to see it. Wish they'd stop sending them.

The other one is pretty neat cause it has our local mall mapping all the stores that are open and the restaurant section has a lot of menus with prices, which make me hungry. LOL

I think I only look up 2-3 phone numbers in any given month so I really wouldn't care if I didn't have any phone books.  :wave:
