Advantages: excellent all rounder
Disadvantages: can take time to find your stuff

...There are times when things go wrong, or you need someone fast! By almost every phone in britain is a fat yellow book packed full of usefull numbers and addresses. It has had many tv adverts about it and is the biggest directory in Britain! Not surprisingly, as the world trundles on into the computerised generation, the yellow pages has hitched a ride on the technological bandwagon and gone onto the net! *first impressions* The site appears clearly and consisely! The traditional yellow has been adopted for the banner at the top of the page. The main block is split into 2 sections. For You and For Your Business. Here you have the capability of searching the pages, or adding yourself to them! The page is easy to understand and yet still capures the classic yellow pages feel. *searching* After clicking on a catagorie you are taken... Read review

Advantages: Informative, attractive, hard to lose...
Disadvantages: Not very portable

...Ah, the Yellow Pages! What would Britain be without it? This great British institution has been the butt of many jokes, but there is no doubt of it's usefulness. So what exactly is it? It's a big thick yellow book, listing local businesses in your area. More than just a phone directory, the Yellow Pages offers suggestions for days out, charity helplines, transport, local services and emergency services. In the back there is also a fold out map of your local area, with all main roads and towns marked on it. HIghly useful, let me tell you! The bulk of the book is taken up by the classified section, where you can find the number and address of anything from an abattoir to a zoo. It's handily arranged in double alphabetical order, so if looking for garden centres (as an example), you flick to the G section then thumb through the pages... Read review

Advantages: good co.
Disadvantages: overpriced

...are now very overpriced. when these came to the market about 10 years ago they were a loss leader - now i feel that the quotes are much too high. competition in the market is very fierce and there are are much better deals about through the other direct companies. the best thing to do is go through the yellow pages at renewal time and ring all the direct companies this culd save you £100's . i used to be with them and have saved £180 by going to a company calles performance direct based in london - in the yellow pages if you want to try them...

Advantages: Accessable by a range of different media, thorough directory, efficient high-standard service.
Disadvantages: Only avaiable to Vodafone users on a mobile phone.

...Scoot.co.uk is a result of the Freepages Group PLC (the company that ran 0800 192 192) and an alliance with Vodafone in 1996. It is basically an online version of the Yellow Pages, you can search for different business by either name, type or location. It also has a people search and a cinema search facility. Scoot isn't just an online service but a free service avaiable from land-lines and by dialing '333' from a Vodafone handset. It is very useful if you are a Vodafone customer, not only is it free but they also send the details of the business to your handset in the form of a text message, all for free. Scoot is well known for its marketing campaign with it's purple headed man. It has achieved huge growth over the past couple of years, with services expanding to Holland and Belgium. More recently, scoot has now been made avialable... Read review

Advantages: easy, quick, national
Disadvantages: none

...Whoever it was that decided to put the Yellow Pages on the Web should be knighted, well that's my opinion anyway. There's no more fumbling through the local Yellow Pages trying to find what you're looking for. Just go to Yell.com, wrtie in what you're looking for and hey presto there it is, all easily readable and ready to print off.......if you want to. It's very quick and very simple. What's more you don't have to pay frustrating trips to the local library to try and find a company in a different part of the country, you just go to Yell.com and type in what area you're looking for that particular business and what it is and again it comes up with the goods. So next time you're wanting to find something in the yellow pages, be it local or national, just Yell for help.... Read review

Advantages: Good content
Disadvantages: Slow to load

...The Telegraph has been praise for its website on numerous occasions. They have worked hard to get to a site of this standard and they thorougly deserve the praise. The bulk of the site is very well written with excellent content that has been thought through. You are able to search the financial pages as well as the whole site for the exact information that you want. The telegraph do market themselves as a electronic news paper so navigating from the front page to a specific topic can be very difficult. If you are having problems go to the bottom of the page everthing is linked from there. There is alot of information going onto the page so downloading can be slow. The looks of the site are very good, the yellow text does stand out very well against the deep blue back ground.... Read review

Advantages: see text
Disadvantages: site can be slow so check out the site

...This is a great directory if you want to look up something quick and local. It’s easy to follow, and there’s a lot of people who use it to advertise so you should find most of the companies in it. I am sure we’ve used the Yellow pages for car insurance there’s literally hundreds of motor insurance companies, which are worth checking out. Take my advice, ring them all (well the free numbers) you will find what that is cheap enough. There are also other insurance companies which specialise in home/pet/travel/life insurance. I have used the Yellow pages to book halls, look up garages for car exhausts, and I think it’s a really good offline directory which is easy to use. They have a good selection of categories and I’m sure they’ll have that suits you. It’s really good for looking up... Read review
