How to opt-out of receiving phone books

You no longer have to put up with getting unwanted phone directories.

An agreement approved Monday by the state and industry representatives means you can opt out of receiving the Yellow Pages.

As part of the agreement, the state's largest directory publishers -- Berry, Dex, SuperMedia and YellowBook -- will direct consumers to a website where they can opt out of receiving the yellow pages. The free service is offered through www.YellowPagesOptOut.com.
