How to stop, opt out of, delivery of the yellow pages. I can’t actually recall the last time I used a phone directory of any description. With access to the internet practically always within reach whether it be in the form of a laptop or mobile phone, I simply have no need in my life for the 4kg of paper that’s forced upon me annually. That said, I’m not for a second suggesting that the remainder of Australian population is the same – of course there are the elderly, the Luddites and there’s always Australia’s ever increasing Amish community, for all of whom the Yellow Pages Directories would provide a veritable treasure trove of information.
So what options does that leave for you and I, digital pioneers of the information superhighway? Good news, it’s now possible to opt out of delivery.
All you have to do is visit the http://about.sensis.com.au/Sustainability/Environment/Order-books-or-cancel-delivery/ site or if you’re a sucker for punishment, call 1800 810 211, option 2, then option 7. Then just request to opt out of the yellow and/or white pages directories. If the person on the end of the line is dutifully following their script, they’ll also ask why you want to opt out. Cite global warming, the environment, the current socio-economic climate in Latin America, it really doesn’t matter.
