Final Edition of Phone Books for Bates County

 NO MORE PHONE BOOKS FOR BATES COUNTY

August is the month Bates County Residents look for the latest phone book publication in their mailboxes. As of this year, there will no longer be phone books published for Bates County Residents.

Time changes things… and this public service message will probably only seem important to the older generation.

The Names and Numbers Phone Book Company just released information to the media that the 2023 publication of a phone book will be the last edition published for Bates County.  

The first change consumers noticed was in 2020 when the names of residents with their home addresses and phone numbers were not published for the public.

The 2021 and forward publications,  of the Names and Numbers Phone Book included  business addresses and their phone numbers, to include the Yellow Pages.  

We fast forward to 2024 as Names and Numbers notified the media that the Bates County Names and Numbers phone book would be  the last publication. Vernon County will have at least one more year of publication before they also stop the printing of what we know as our Vernon County paper phone book.

The Names and Number phone book will be available on-line from the Names and Number Website.
