Around here, everyone gets two phone books, one from the phone company and one from some sleazy fly-by-night outfit. Everyone I know immediately burns the sleazy book. But the regular book isn't that great either. It seems to have three different sections, each one with pages sequentially numbered from one. This makes it pretty hard to find anything. Let's see, is that page 14 in the Info Pages or page 14 in the Customer Guide Pages? In addition, at one time the book told you when was the cheap time to make a long distance call, and how to make an international call. It doesn't any more. Yes, I know why it doesn't, but it's still annoying. Is it 011 or 01 for operator assisted? I can't ever remember and the book is no help. Are there actually any long-distance carriers that don't use the same access codes as AT&T? If so, why? Well, that's my petty complaining for today.
