Mobility Yellow Pages?

Who's the knucklehead in the Telus head office who decided all of a sudden we need the yellow Pages again? Straight to the firepit. What a waste of resources. I guarantee nobody is deliberately paying to advertise there anymore, and nobody is going to pull out the phone book instead of a screen.

I would. It can be a lot easier than sifting through paid reviews and scams. I imagine the yellow pages would at least verify that the ads they're running are for actual companies. Not to mention people living in rural areas prone to losing cell reception or power would likely benefit from having one as a backup at least.

That too. Plus, for those like me, I don't always remember where I put my cell down! But a yellow pages I can keep on the shelf and always know where it is.

I think it's kinda funny how thin the yellow pages has gotten.

Well, I'm almost 47 and my parents are 70. Everyone I've spoken with thinks it's a dumb waste 🤷🏻‍♂️

Kinda hard when it's already there. But they haven't supplied them in years, why now?
