Anyone have a problem with their lack of existence? I tried using Canada 411 a few times with zero success. Tried directory inquiries. Same result. Used to be a printed data base in large books where you could find pretty much any phone number. They were easy to use and the information was usually correct. So in the wacky premise of wanting to find somebody, you could find a phone book and look them up and call them. If you wanted another province or U.S. state, you could just go to the library with the same sort of success rate. This no longer exists. The internet hasn't really replaced them, so's you'd notice.

Most people today use cell phones . Land lines are not being used as much . People want their privacy . You should have no problem in looking up a business .
Looking up a business no problem. Private phone listings used to be the norm. Now they have gone the way of the dodo. I was trying to find an old friend.No listing. Tried doing a 411 for his son. Don't know if he is alive or dead. No listing. So people can disappear now. Before, all you had to do was look in the phone book. Don't remember any problem with that system in the past. If only there were a way of finding people. Like a phone book.....

Not sure how WP compares to 411, hopefully one of these helps.

Funny you guys talk about phone books. Part of my work-at-home chores included de-cluttering. Threw out a 1999 Canadian Postal Code directory and the yellow pages. No more phone books.
Usually, I find things with Google if not one of those other search directories, like Canada411, etc.
