I use it still but not as much. I use it for businesses that are not in my cell phone.

Hi student7, thanks for sharing. Yeah, at times we still need it for important purposes like businesses you said :-)

I remember many landline numbers, but i am unable to remember cell phone numbers, really. I only know two cell numbers by heart, the rest i must check them out in the directory. About landline ones..i remember quite a few actually.


myLot reputation of 99/100. add_im (1167)   ranked 13 out of 615 in mobile phone  5 years ago

Same thing here with me Light, I tend to focus remembering those numbers mostly landline numbers than cell numbers. But I do remember the cell numbers of my family members by heart, but the rest is my problem I still need to look at it from my phone though...maybe just got a slow memory here LOL :-)


myLot reputation of 97/100. LightninStrike (2470)   ranked 135 out of 615 in mobile phone  5 years ago

I think we remember more landlines because we didn't use to have a directory like the one we have in our cells....nowadays when someone gives you a number, u directly copy it down in the cell, you don't take the time to learn it, unlike some years ago.


myLot reputation of 99/100. add_im (1167)   ranked 13 out of 615 in mobile phone  5 years ago

That's right, nowadays we got into a more hightech facilities even more when it comes to phones itself. It's much more easier now comparing those past years back then.

Actually every now and then yes I still do use telephone directories as there is sometimes something we almost alwaysnes need that we don't know the number to.

Most of the time we look things up on thenet, but that is not always is that possible when on the road and needing something.

Mooch

Internet search could also be useful, but I guess there's nothing compare still of using telephone directories which is more easier to find numbers we're looking to. :-)

our telephone directory at home is not updated for three years now so i don't bother myself looking at it anymore. since there are directory assistance operators i can easily contact them and ask specific numbers i want to call. it's the most convenient and fastest way to know the numbers you want to use. i actually do not remember any numbers by heart except our own telephone number and my cellphone number. without the phone directory in cellphone it would be difficult for me to contact anyone since i have poor memory on phone numbers.


myLot reputation of 99/100. add_im (1167)   ranked 13 out of 615 in mobile phone  5 years ago

Yeah, truly it's hard sometimes to memorize numbers by heart specially when we have our slow memory when it comes to memorize numbers itself, I too find it sometimes a very hard thing. So, I guess telephone directories nowadays could still be more useful than I could ever think of. Thanks for sharing.

Most of the telephone numbers I use are in the phone's address book, but I do use Yellow Pages directory if I want to find a number of a local store or tradesperson.


myLot reputation of 99/100. add_im (1167)   ranked 13 out of 615 in mobile phone  5 years ago

Yes, that's important having use it to such kind of purposes as we couldn't intend to memorize all numbers in mind and by heart :-)

If I am at home I look up what I want to find on the net telephone directory. But all of my friends numbers I have on the fridge so I can see them at all times. I also have 3 phone books beside me when I am at the computer. I also have my small phone book I keep in my change purse. But I never have to call anyone when I am not at home. If I did I would only have to call one person and we know his number by heart. So no unless I am in a city and need to find an address or phone number I would and will look in the telephone directory.


myLot reputation of 99/100. add_im (1167)   ranked 13 out of 615 in mobile phone  5 years ago

That's good of you bwrattybaby, that's a very good way of saving your friends numbers somewhere or in some notes for you to easily find them there whenever you needed to call someone and it won't be hard for you because you have arranged everything as is. :-)

I definitely still use the phone directory to look up businesses that I may need to contact about various things like home repair. It does not bother me looking up information that I do not have stored in my cell phone. I can not remember every phone number of every person and business that I am in contact with. Sometimes I use the online directory which is even easier.


myLot reputation of 99/100. add_im (1167)   ranked 13 out of 615 in mobile phone  5 years ago

Thank you for sharing kgwat70, I agree using it still nowadays is always a must specially when there are really times that you needed to look up numbers from telephone directories. :-)
