HI,
We need to get our number into the White Pages.
Has anyone here actually tried it?
Thanks,

You probably need to be more specific about which country you're in so people can help you.
If you're in the UK, I can confirm we have plenty of customers with numbers in the Yellow Pages, as well as the BT Phone Book, etc. etc. all without any issue.
Regards,
Chris

It's not just Voip numbers. We've got a PRI from XO that (even though
they say otherwise) we can't white pages listings (reliably) or yellow
pages. We've had to purchase analog AT&T lines just to be listed.
When our contract is up, it's back to AT&T we go.
I think that is one of the biggest things that businesses overlook
when switching to Voip. It's hard to get in the directories.
Good luck! |

I have to say that it's been many years (well before voip) that I've gone to
the directories. Google and yellow pages for pretty much everything. White
pages if I know *exactly* what I'm looking for, but even then I tend to throw
it in google before I go hunting for that big damned book.

This is actually something we're trying to fix over at VoIPMagnet.com
We've had some good feedback on the beta, and we're developing
additional features to make it easier to group numbers together under a
business and/or personal listing as well as being a repository for where
to look up VoIP accounts that aren't strictly phone numbers.
Of course, people would have to use it for it to be worthwhile. But feel
free to try it out and comment on the beta. With enough feedback and
criticism, I'm sure we can create sort of the ideal free lookup spot.
It's always bit a source of consternation not being able to get our own
data into the usual white pages business listings, which is why we set
about building this.

I am the exact same way. I don't even know where the phonebook is at
my house. But, when one of your clients is a hardware/lumber store,
you realize how important the yellow pages still are. Another client
is a construction company. Five years ago they did all their work
with nationwide accounts, when we switched to XO less than three years
ago, it was no big deal. Now, the majority of the work is local.
It's amazing how many businesses look in the yellow pages.
During this time, we got rid of what was then our "backdoor" that got
into the autoattendent. That number was disconnected. Even though
our number shows up in many places all over the internet, a lot of
those national accounts thought we went out of business because that
number was disconnected, including one that had previously used email
only as a means of communication (our email never changed).
People are completely 100% unpredictable!
To me, though, Directory Assistance is more important than white pages
or yellow pages, mainly because most of the people we deal with are on
their cellphones all day and not in the office. |
