How to get your name off phone directory lists

August 15, 2008 at 11:42 am

The company that looks after the eircom phone book and the yellow pages is called Truvo. Following Wednesday’s post and the interest it generated, I telephoned them and asked about getting my name removed from all future distributions and they put me through to their distribution company.  I gave my details in there and that’s it!  I’m off.

You can get your name removed too.  Telephone 01 46 000 46  and give them your details.

You may also be interested to know that the eircom phone book includes phone numbers of all landlines (that are not ex directory).  So even if you’re with Perlico, Digiweb, etc your name and number will still appear.

Now all I have to do is wait a year to see if this change takes effect, but you can rest assured that I will be keeping an eye out to make sure they do what they say they’re going to do!
