A better Internet Telephone Directory

There are many Internet telephone directories. Did you know... different telephone directories return different results?

In my work I am constantly looking up phone numbers. While I have fee-based accounts (which access the same real time databases as the telephone companies “Directory Assistance”) to avoid spending too much money I first use the free directories on the net.

Now, instead of searching one or more of the “free” directories I use “Argali White & Yellow.” It searches multiple Internet directories, complies them and displays the results in a very readable format.

Argali has two versions. One is free with advertising and the other (which I use) is subscription based and probably not necessary for the occasional user.

Once you have downloaded and installed the software there will be an icon on your desktop to click whenever you need to look something up. Besides looking up telephone numbers there are several other features that can be useful.

You can get more information and download the software at http://www.argali.com/
