Do You Still Use a Phonebook?

[jmc1982]

Not at all! Much easier online!

No not really I mostly use the internet and my cell phone to look up things, if I have to use the phone book it would be to find something that I could not find anywhere else

We have a phonebook for our families cottage cause sometimes the places up there either don't have a webpage or can't be found easily online so it's nice to have something in case you really want that number.  Other than that though, I don't really use it unless there is no other way to get a phone number.  I think the phonebook we have is like 3 years old though so that doesn't mean that number is even correct.

I still use the phone book occasionally.It just depends onwhen I need rhe number.If it's early enough in the day that I haven't turned on the computer yet I'll use the phone book.If I'm already online,I'll go to the company's website and find the number there.

I occasionally use a phone book to look up a number when I don't feel like going on online. I usually look up all of my information online and have found I get just as much and more from the internet. When I didn't have the computer I pretty much always used the phone book. My mother uses it more than I do because she's not a big internet user.

The only thing I use a phone book for now is to use the yellow pages now and then if I'm looking for a local business. Computers have changed our lives so much that a lot of things have become obsolete.

Our phone book was just delivered the other day and it went directly into the recycling bin. So much faster to look it up online.

[tashamjoy]

yes but never use, now everything i just get from online or on cell phone just easy and quick but still have not sure why i have them ill probably never use

[gramev64]

I do use the phone book once in a great while to look up old friends.

[ladycasshmere]

 rareIy ever use my phone book I usually look up places on my phone or laptop.

[sharonpatri55]

I still use the good old fashioned phonebooks, white and yellow pages. It has gotten a lot more complicated finding things in the yellow pages through the years.

[bowrunner]

I use a phone book for local numbers as I'm in a rural area and a lot of info for people out here isn't online.

[linderlizzie]

Hate to be in the minority, but as a former telephone switchboard operator, I use the phone book first. If I can't find it right away, I'll use my computer.

Of course, if I'm already on my computer when I want to look something up, that would be my option.

BTW, I can't bear the idea of giving up my land line. I don't know why, since no one calls me but telemarketers.
