Do you still use a phone book?

[+Warwagon MVC]

I recently got 2 new phone books in the mail. Which got me thinking..... when was the last time I actually used one. I usually just find someones number on the internet.

i throw them away as soon as I get them.

I use em to kill bugs and prop up my rickety couch

What's a phone book? Is it kind of like Facebook?

[+virtorio MVC]

Never did as the text was too small for me to see.

Even if I never used it I wouldn't just throw it away, assumption is the mother of all **** ups, I have a sat nav in my car, but I still have a road map.

internet > phonebook

[AJerman]

Yes, but just for working out!

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.

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.

No, I do not.

I get three every year. Straight into recycling.

props up my monitor :p

[Marshall Veteran]

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.

[BeerFan]

I use it every once in a long while. Usually i can find what I want on that thing they're calling "the internets".

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.

[MtnDewCodeRedFreak]

Nope - never used them anymore, lol.

Either threw them away or went to recycling.

[djdanster]

I personally don't, but my parents use them from time to time!

I use em for business phone numbers, but so rarely I'd be happier if I didn't have them. I don't live alone, so not my call.
