The New Phone Books On The Internet

Did you know, a long time back when mobiles did not exist, telephone directory was something everyone used. A telephone directory, or a phone book, or white/yellow pages had a whole list of all the telephone subscribers in it. All the information was published in this directory according to the geographical area or the service used.

In this 20^th century, mobile phones have become largely popular. One can easily live an anonymous life behind the cell. But still, using telephone directory was something that people of old times remember quite a lot. With increase of mobile phones at a very rapid rate and decrease in telephones, the “paper” phone book have almost disappeared from the market. But still there are some rare places where you still might a book or two containing al these records.

What information did the phone books contain?

Those old phone books had a lot of informative stuff. All the names of the subscribers were listed in an orderly alphabetic manner. Along with the names of all the subscribers were the postal address or street address and their respective telephone number. All the subscribers of the concerned geographical area were listed in the yellow pages books.

There were people who would exclude their number off the directory. Those who wished to keep their number private had to pay a small fees for their number to be unlisted.

Use of telephone directories: The telephone directory had the information on how to search and dial for a particular number, emergency service numbers, numbers of doctors, hospitals or organization that provide immediate support. The main purpose of a telephone directory was to find the number of a particular subscriber, if you know his name or address or vice versa. When a number was published and put in the record of a telephone directory then the name and address were automatically mentioned with it.

The modern times: During the modern era currently rolling out there are hardly houses or any other place where you would find a phone book. But today, you can still search or do a reverse look-up on who called who. There are websites like PeopleByPhone where you can just enter the number and find the account holder of a particular number. These are the Phone Book on the internet! You can put these internet directories to use and find out a particular person or his other identity information.
