White Pages Directory Knowledge Base
where the heck can I find a truly FREE white pages directory online, that isn't a scam? whitepages dot com and all the others want me to pay anywhere from 7 to 40 dollars, and all I want is someone's phone number, like looking up in a regular old phone book! Surely there must be a site! I've tried the first 3 mentioned here... there is no "White Pages" for yahoo, only yellow. But there is "People search" by yahoo. However all three of these site didn't find who I was looking for directly, but said the name WAS in the database, for a FEE I could retrieve the data. I was asking for FREE, not free links to Pay sites! Ya know, FREE, like in looking up in the phone book, which I would do if I had one!
Telephone directory ( white pages)? Quote Subscriber names are generally listed in alphabetical order, together with their postal or street address and telephone number. Every subscriber in the geographical coverage area is usually listed, but subscribers may request the exclusion of their number from the directory, often for a fee. Their number is then said to be "unlisted" (American English), "ex-directory" (British English) or "private" (Australia and New Zealand). In the case of unlisted numbers, practices as to Caller-ID vary by jurisdiction. Sometimes, the Caller-ID on outbound calls is blank; in other jurisdictions, unlisted numbers still appear, unless the caller dials a blocking code; in still others, the customer may request automatic blocking from the telephone company's service representatives. In the US, under current rules and practices, mobile phone and Voice over IP listings are not included in telephone directories. Efforts to create cellular directories have met stiff opposition from several fronts, including a significant percentage of subscribers who seek to avoid telemarketers. In 1991, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled (in Feist v. Rural) that telephone companies do not have a copyright on telephone listings, because copyright protects creativity and not the mere labor of collecting existing information. Within the geographical reach of the Court, the Feist ruling has resulted in the availability of many innovative telephone directory services on CD-ROM and the World Wide Web. Quote I know many people who have unlisted in the phone book yet still get telemarketers and if there is 911 hang up how is the police or EMS going to find you?
I accidently threw out AT&T white and yellow pages home directories ! How do I get new ones before spring? We received two large print editions last week, and without looking I threw out current white and yellow pages. I have no residential directory now until Spring. My service is AT & T. Try to locate a phone number to call about this situation !! I can't find where to even start and call to report this . It is crazy and I don't believe there is a store in town, because trying to locate that in a local directory I have on hand or on line is like looking for a needle in a haystack. "We don't care, we are the phone company !!!" Hope somone can provide me with a phone number and what to do.
