Choose how your info appears in the phone directory

You can choose how your listing appears in the directory, or even restrict where your information is listed. The information on your directory listing is the same that will appear on caller ID.

You can also have your name removed, at no charge, from lists that we lease to other firms. Unlisted and unpublished telephone numbers are automatically excluded from these lists.

Main listing

As part of your telephone service, your name (last, first, middle), street address and telephone number are included in our printed directory.

You can customize this listing. Consider these options:

• Replace your first and/or middle name with initials.
  
  
• Omit the city name and/or street address from your listing.
  
  
• Have a "dual surname" listing. This allows people with different last names living at the same address to have both names shown in their listing. Just tell us which last name you want to appear first for the alphabetical sequence of the listing.

There's no charge to customize your directory listing if you do it when you first sign up for service. If you decide you want to make changes later, there is a one-time fee that varies by location.

Unlisted (semi-private)

If you want to be a little harder to find, you can get a semi-private listing. Your name, address and phone number won't appear in the printed telephone directory, but they will still be available through Directory Assistance. 

A semi-private listing will keep your telephone number from being included on lists that we provide to other companies for marketing purposes.

There is a one-time setup charge and monthly fee, varying by location.

Unpublished (private)

For more complete restriction of the availability of your contact information, consider a private listing. With this type of listing, your name, address, and phone number are not included in our printed or online directories and are not available through Directory Assistance.

Additionally, your telephone number won't be included on lists that we provide to other companies for marketing purposes.

There is a one-time setup charge and monthly fee for this type of listing.

Limitations of a private listing

Even with a private listing, your contact information will be shared with a select few including:

• 911 and E911 emergency services
• Telephone companies for itemized billing and collections

Caller ID block
