I know that here in the US the yellow pages are important when it comes to looking for a business phone number. Mostly all the information on most business that are in the area are there. If there is not a number for the store your looking for. You can either call information and find out the number. It is useful and very much needed here in the US.

yeah andi find it very interesting..coz here in our country we just need to ask for someone that we knew the details on the business that provides the services that we need. the yellow pages were just keep in a place adn no one will realize the use of it until we need to wrap somthing in paper...

I go to the internet to look business's up I need to find. I don't know the last time I used the yellow pages. It was a very long long time ago. And I wouldn't pay for a telephone book anyway. Or any listing in a yellow telephone book. It is just as easy to look stuff up here on the internet or should I say easier.

Yes, I use them quite a bit. The yellow pages are a big deal here. I don't know why, but they are and always have been.
