Nope. I use various websites.
-
Yes, I do. I just used it last week to find a local carpenter to do some work in my home.
-
WTF!!?? Where did you pull that from. You aren't calling the pizza guy are ya? I'm kidding. I can't afford a pizza! But to answer your question, I think our phonebook has been on the foyer floor since we broke down and brought it in from outside!
-
Very rarely, and I have like 5 of them.
-
Probably every other day at work. At home, no we have the pizza place and our parents on speed dial, that's about all we need to call.
-
Yes, at work always, we have no internet at work. I use the one at home, just out of habit. I seldom think of turning on the computer to look up a phone number when the book is sitting right next to the phone.
-
sure all the time
-
Of course; it's a valuable resource and has come in handy countless times.
-
I use the yellow pages from time-to-time (mostly to find a taxi service number...) but I very nearly NEVER use the white pages. I can't recall the last time I looked up someone's number in the white pages.
-
Several times a week we use it, mostly for a quick call to a local business or to see where someone is located.
-
Occasionally, though I find online editions far more useful.
-
Probably twice in a year. My 2 cents.
-
no, not at all:)
-
sure, sometimes i dont have a number i need in my contacts on my cell or on any caller ID's on my phones... we have two in the dresser.
-
Regularly! For a local number that I want to find quickly it's handy but for a national number I' be looking to the web.
-
No and I hate to see them go to waste. They should have a number to call if you want them or not.
-
naaa anywho
-
Oh, all the time. Local places are just too hard to find online. And I like to see a variety of places at a time, even ads.
-
nope
-
Occasionally, but my mom is a walking rolodex so I can usually get by with asking her.
-
I think I used it once this year so far.
-
Nope... Google
-
Nope. The internet has pretty much replaced my phone book's usage.
-
Other than to stand on? lol. Yes, I do. :)
-
Errrr......no.
-
Yes, I actually do. Not all of the time, but I know I probably do once or twice a month.
-
No. They should be eliminated because they have become a waste of paper.
-
No I ring directory enq... they are brillant :)
-
Yeah, I use the yellow pages quite frequently. Not really a user of the white pages, though.
-
no, I use the internet...
-
No and it really annoys me that they always throw it on my doorstep or in my yard. I think it should be considered littering, since they just end up in my trash. I'd rather they just stick to placing them in grocery stores where who ever actually wants one can grab it on their way out.
-
From time to time although an internet search, if the computer is on is quicker.
-
Not an actual hardcopy of one. As a matter of fact, I deplore it when they're left in my driveway or on my doorstep. I always say, (you can ask my husband) "Gee guys, thanks for leaving trash in my front yard." Then, I promptly recycle it. They never even make it into my house. On a side note: I also hate it when they fill little sandwich bags with their flyers and business cards and rocks. Yes, rocks! (I guess it's easier to toss them from a vehicle.) I run over them with my car and then have a bag of dusty rocks and paper that I have to get rid of. Does this type of "advertising" actually even work???
-
only for really big spiders:)
-
No if I need a number I use Yell.com
-
No, I use the internet now :) I don't like having to flip through all of those pages.
-
Honestly, only when I feel like getting up to get it. If not I dial 411
-
Yes
-
Only when i need a phone number.
-
The net is faster, and I can generally do what I need online.
-
Yes, it is right by my phone.
-
yeah sometimes.
-
Not all of the time, but we still use them (white and yellow) at least once a month.
-
I have no problem with phone books, but I really only use them if I'm not near a computer. Some people have forgotten how to use them, here was a quote I heard someone say: "How am I supposed to find anything in a phone book, do you know how thick those things are?"
-
yep.. sure do
-
actually yeah i do...well now that i'm in a new apartment and don't have one i don't, but otherwise yeah i do
-
I actually did today for the first time in a long time. It felt foreign but I liked it. I guess sometimes old ways are just as good as new ones.
-
I use them all the time.
-
Yes
-
Every now and then.
-
If my 3 year old niece comes to visit she sits on the phone book. I am afraid she would damage my laptop if she sat on it.
-
Yes. Often. At work.
-
yellowpages.com only
-
Yeah it makes for a good party trick when you rip it in half. drunk chicks dig it.
-
Don't all phone books come with yellow pages:)
-
i use the online version. flipping pages is exhausting.
-
Only when I am not near a computer, it is easier to get the info from the online phone information.
-
I don't use a phone book or dial 411! Use 1800GOOG411 from Google. It's free.
-
yes.
