Question: Is a local Cell Phone Directory needed?

A reader has suggested that there needs to be a Cell Phone Directory like like the ones the phone companies have for land-line numbers.

"A lot of people are using their cell phones in place of land-land phones," the reader wrote. "People say this is one way--using cell phones--to save money!"




Sounds great to us. It's rather ironic that it can be harder to locate phone numbers now, even with google, than it was in earlier days.

Time was knowing numbers wasn't so important, when you called South Central Bell at the exchange on Reed Street, told Mrs. Davis to get Dr. Flowers on the phone, and she obliged. And our number was 192A and that was the only number we had to remember. And you knew where the ringing phone was located, on the wall in the hallway. Those of us born before 1950 miss all that.
