Without having a phone book, how to do that?

@goldensrbest, I recycle all the phone books that show up in my mailbox or at my doorstep. I rely solely on my iPad to find the numbers I need.

Google?

I don't even have a phone book.

I googled "White Pages" to find several addresses and phone numbers yesterday. It worked for me in Minneapolis.

Dialing 411 still works.

Landline phones - FREE!

Cell phones - Will cost ya. However, you can "negotiate" w/your carrier if you plan on using 411 a lot.

We still get phone books (white & yellow pages) delivered right to our front door twice a year in my neck of the woods. The books are from Verizon. They are smaller in size now. About 1/2 the size from the original size.

We use to get one from AT&T. Haven't seen them for a few years now.

@goldensrbest, you use to google people's name, but not anymore, they want you to pay for it, there use to be White Pages online, but no longer exist, very frustrating!

I googled my name and got my phone number, email address, some previous addresses, ex husbands name and all his relatives, my now husbands addresses when he was a child. Maybe they will have my dinner menu for tonight soon.

Oh, no! I am contacting them to have my information removed as soon as possible. Google used to display all that as soon as you entered a person's name and I filled out the forms to have myself removed immediately. No website should provide your home address and a map to your door to anyone with a computer.

I don't want all our personal info there either @ChynnaBlue!

Glad I saw this thread.
