Hello Sherry and others who like to look things up on the Internet: Google has a feature called local Google. Go to Google, www.google.com Put in the name of the business you want the phone number to follow by your zip code. Example: Publix grocery store 32308 What you will receive is a list of these stores addresses and phone numbers in your area starting in the zip code you indicated. For what it is worth you are provided with a map also. The ideal way is to be as specific as you can and use your own zip code unless you plan to visit me at 32308. You may want to play around with different restaurants. I had good luck with the phrase pizza restaurants along with the zip code. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sherry Wells" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 1:21 PM Subject: [VICUG-L] Yellow & White Pages .com - Need a Better Option : Hi List, : : I would love to find a good site to use to look up phone numbers. I : always seem to have problems with yellow and white pages .com. On yellow : pages .com I tend to get listings from all over the country even though I : enter a city and state. On white pages .com I got a list of very good : resources this morning but none showed any phone numbers, just web sites. : If I wanted a list of web sites I would go to Google. Do others have : these problems with yellow & white pages .com? Those sites really annoy : me as one would think it would be quite simple to return a phone number or : at least return a list of businesses only in the city state you request. : : Thanks, : Sherry Wells : : : VICUG-L is the Visually Impaired Computer User Group List. : Archived on the World Wide Web at : http://listserv.icors.org/archives/vicug-l.html : Signoff: [email protected] : Subscribe: [email protected] : : : -- : No virus found in this incoming message. : Checked by AVG Free Edition. : Version: 7.5.476 / Virus Database: 269.10.8/904 - Release Date: 7/16/2007 5:42 PM : : VICUG-L is the Visually Impaired Computer User Group List.
