+Biscuits Brown MVC Posted December 2, 2012 MVC Share Posted December 2, 2012 I use them because I do not have a smart phone so when the internet drops or the power is out I can still look up numbers. One of the reasons we still have a land-line is the fact that it works when the power is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambroos Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Nope, I unsubscribed and don't receive them anymore either. I suggest that everyone who does still receive them but never uses them or just throws them away to search on the website for the company that provides the books for a way to unsubscribe. Those books are usually huge and a gigantic waste of paper. I mean, think of the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Veteran Posted January 25, 2013 Veteran Share Posted January 25, 2013 I find it ridiculous that these companies are wasting resources when the Net has made the phone book almost obsolete. In short, no It goes straight to recycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerFan Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The Phone company is killing trees for nothing. It's not just "the phone company"... take a look at who's name is on your last several phone books. I get a few per year from different groups.
