Seeing as we are half-way into 2010, I was thinking it was about time an update to the 2008/9 BT Phone Book was delivered.
Has anyone received one? I ask because for some reason my house is invisible, since I never get the Advertiser delivered and I missed out on the new compact Yellow Pages which was mentioned on this forum a while back. |

Geeze I can't remember the last time I use a white or yellow pages it seems so stone age now with everything at your finger tips on the PC !!! Did have a yellow pages delivered but was still the "kill 20 trees" version which went straight to recycling....

I'd love it if I never received a Yellow Pages ever again. Mine too goes straight from doorstep to recycle bin as I haven't used one for something like 15 years.
Complete waste of money and I cannot understand how advertisers these days would even think that the paper version of Yellow Pages is a worthwhile advertising medium. No one I know uses them and neither do we use them at work. |

I suspect a majority of over 50's probably use it.

This thread is about asking whether anyone has received an update to the BT phone book this year, not a rant about Yellow Pages. That was just an example of things I don't get that everyone else seems to.
(And why would I spend ten times as long turning on the PC specifically to find a phone number I need?) |

Does this mean that I'll have to sell my computer and get hold of a Yellow Pages within the next year then Now where did I put my pipe ans slipperzzzzzzzzzzzz........... |

It may come as a great surprise to you but I also use Facebook and Twitter and all types of modern media. I also have an advantage that I can do maths in my head. Shock of shocks I dont dribble, wear purple or push to the front of the queue.

I didn't say all. I said I suspect a majority do because I know an awful lot of people who do. I know young people who use it aswell.

Where I work advertises in the yellow pages. Most of our local business comes directly from it. We tried yell.com - total waste of time. |

Well, that's an ad I won't be seeing then QUOTE (Biker1 @ Jun 8 2010, 10:17 AM) Are you still a BT customer? I believe you only get one if you are but stand to be corrected. Don't know about the "still", but yes. I wouldn't expect people with a different supplier to get a BT phone book. |

Hi Jeff - I'm happy to advise that you should be getting a copy of the New Phone Book sometime from mid-end July, which is when delivery takes place. I work for the company who delivers it so please if you wish to advise me in a separate email of your postcode I will try and make sure we get one to you ASAP once books arrive in the area. My direct email is peter@linkdirect.co.uk or alternatively fill in an enquiry form on our website www.linkdirect.co.uk Kind regards Peter Rand |

Thanks very much for that information. I asked originally not because I was desperate for an update - I just wondered whether there had been one already and I had been missed out (as with other publications).
If mine hasn't arrived by the end of July, I'll be in touch
