We've come across some legacy customers that have directory listings

1. Are those a thing in the VoIP space? Can I go to {insert SIP
provider here} and they can place directory listings, unpublish
numbers, etc.?
I don't know. But, see also: whatever 411 is/does/used to be.
1. Are directories a thing anywhere anymore? I haven't seen a new one
in probably 15 years. I understand that I'm not the target
demographic, but I'm not even sure where I'd go (short of
Googling) to get one. Are we paying for something that has no
benefit anymore?
My employer has published a phone book every year for many decades.
It's fun to look through old ones to find your childhood phone number,
relatives, businesses that used to exist, etc. Every year they put a few
pictures of employees around the book, which is fun for us. Well,
unless a full color photo of you doing "work" in a CO is featured on the
back cover. I've heard talk that the last one they published, might be
the last. Or maybe it won't be /every/ year any more.
I use mine at least weekly. But I'm also referencing information other
than phone numbers. For example, we have a few pages discussing our *
codes, with a handy table.
