White and Yellow Pages Telephone directory - don't ignore the letter!

Karen from Ilam

I recently got a letter from "yellow" - the folk that distribute the phone directories.

It looks like a form letter BUT buried in the middle paragraph is the information that residential listings will be in a separate Christchurch White Pages Residential book (available on order).

I recently got a letter from "yellow" - the folk that distribute the phone directories.

It looks like a form letter BUT buried in the middle paragraph is the information that residential listings will be in a separate Christchurch White Pages Residential book (available on order).

"Well!" I thought, "that probably means we are going to have to pay for it now!"

But NO! it is still FREE! - as the "yellow" lady explained on the phone when I called.

However you do have to "OPT IN" to get it - you can call them on 0800 803 803 to do this.

I think they are hoping that not many people will do that so they don't have to print many copies which will save some costs and trees (or perhaps so that they can say that too few people "opted in" to make it worthwhile producing).

I know that lots of people use online directories etc now but not everyone has a computer or smart phone and some still find the white pages useful, so this is a warning - if you want the white pages, DON'T ignore the letter - contact "yellow" to opt in (and tell those who may not be on "neighbourly" about this too)!
