We just received our "Real Pages" phone books. The phone books have some residential numbers in sections for outlying towns like Simpsonville and Easley. However, I no longer see the big main residential section of numbers for the rest of Greenville county.
What is a phone book? Seriously, I haven't used a phone book in years. I did not know one was still available.
Exactly. ... picked it up from the front porch, and put it straight into the dumpster. Had them all canceled at our FL house, but they keep leaving one here.
Many people have canceled their landline phone. We got ours over a week ago and I haven't even opened it yet! New phone books used to be something I couldn't wait to get...now not so much!
Agreed. We haven't had a regular land line in at least 10 years.
We haven't used one in years; I say USED because we do have a phone line, we just don't use it! See Charter says its cheaper to have it in the bundle we have than not to. So it sits there, unused, without even a phone plugged into the jack. Since everyone in the house has a cell phone now, the landline is basically useless!
One good thing is that instead of getting about 7 phone books / yellow pages every year, I'm down to 2. Businesses got wise to the useless yellowpages ad scams, so they don't pay for every yellow pages solicitation that comes along.
Certain types of businesses still advertise, because there's a tiny percentage of people who aren't on the Internet and still use the yellow pages.
But this guy might be on the way to the recycling station:

Nope. I've done this, he's picked up the books for his route. Maybe for a rather large business or a neighborhood route. He makes about a penny per book delivered!
