Found in my letter box. 500 pages of businesses I could find in 2 seconds on my phone. Why are they still doing this in 2026?

  1. Older people, I would assume. My grandma has a smartphone but doesn’t use the contacts app. She writes all the important numbers down on her notepad and just dials them manually.

    I’d actually love an up to date Sydway book. Just for shits and giggles but it’d be hilarious to give to P platers who can’t use their phone and they have it open on their laps instead

  3. You can no longer search for residential phone numbers on the White Pages online (thanks to roboscrapers allowing scammers to make nuisance phone calls).

    That’s one reason why the books are still being printed.
