?? How many people still use the phone book / yellow pages ?? Anyone?

I use the yellow pages.

If you soak them in water and stack them up;

they make excellent bullet traps.

I use 4 phone books to raise the height of my mouse when I stand to use the computer.

So it is not looking so good for advertising but I am seeing other interesting uses. hmmm

No such thing anymore.

We just toss them when they come into work by mail and clutter up the place

Dont put an ad -there are a dozen DIFFERENT yellow pages for every area -and the reps will tell you theirs is the best.

online the only one now

"Ok Google. Call Bass Pro Shops"

Tap the one you want

ring..ring..ring...

I will make you a blog. good for advertising -but it takes 6 mos to a year to see real results because of search engine algorithms.

I did a good set of blogs for a lawyer

They charge way too much and hardly any use for them anymore.

I have a program on my phone named "Phone Bookaki".

is that what you mean?

I admit I am a dinosaur. I don't like using cell phones and don't like WiFi. Yes I still use a local phone book and can look up local phone numbers faster than you can type on your keyboard or pad.

Why should I pay some internet or Verizon supplier a fee to do something as simple as looking up a phone number for free.

Why would I want a device that the government could track every move that I make and record everything that I say or type. They even make you pay for that privilege of spying upon you...

The pages work great to start the fireplace...

I had a tree branch hit my homes electric cable & I needed an electrician like RIGHT NOW!

Went right to the yellow pages!

Me too !!! :)

yellow pages list all you need to know. The internet.. not every(store) has a webpage, difficult to locate a local store, and even more difficult to understand what the heck they actually do. I tried, yellow pages were much easier. Then can try the internet to check them out.

I use the old phone books for many other things.

I use the new ones to find phone #'s and I use it often.

I do. Used it today in fact.

They don't automatically distribute the "White Pages" phone book in my city anymore, only the "Yellow Pages", but I always request and obtain the hard copy White Pages with the home phone numbers that are still listed.

Unfortunately more and more people are dropping their landlines and the phone book is becoming thinner and thinner each year. It has dropped in pages by about 2/3 just since 2005 I was noticing today (I have saved the old White Pages from prior years). It actually makes it hard now to get find a person's phone number when you want to call them if all they have is a cell phone or an IP phone since neither of those is listed in the Phone Book. ... Frustrating.

I personally moved my home phone to Magic Jack but kept my 25 year old number, because Magic Jack costs about 5% of what my former regular phone cost, but I did have to give up being listed in the phone book when I did that. I would actually PAY a small fee to be listed again in fact if that was an option, though I doubt most people would.
