How to Order a Phone BookPhone books (also known as telephone directories) list names, addresses, and phone numbers for both residential and business subscribers. Several publishers produce these directories, with some offering printed versions and others focusing solely on online or digital formats. Most landline customers are automatically entitled to a free printed copy annually, but if you’ve recently moved or haven’t received yours, you can request one for your home or office. Once you place your order, a new edition is typically delivered to you each year. The ordering process varies depending on the publisher and the specific directory you need. Two major publishers in the US are commonly used, but if you’re outside the US, check which company handles telephone directories in your area.
Part1 Ordering a Free Copy of FrontierPages
Step 1: Request a Copy Online
Visit the official Frontier White Pages page at https://frontier.com/resources/white-pages.
You can search for phone numbers online or request a printed directory if available in your area. Fill out the form with your name (and business name if applicable), address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and email address.
Frontier has phased out automatic distribution of residential white pages in many markets, placing them in a separate supplement. To request the residential white pages supplement specifically, look for and select the option to receive a free copy of the White Page Residential Listings Supplement for your local market (if prompted).
Step 2: Call to Order
To request your Frontier telephone directory by phone, call 1-877-547-9773 (an updated number for print directory requests) or check the official site for the most current contact.
Provide your name, address, phone number, and email address. If you want the supplemental residential white pages, mention it specifically during the call.
Step 3: Use the Online Directory
Access Frontier’s online white pages at https://frontier.com/whitepages or through the main resources page.
Search for people or businesses using a last name (and first name if available), plus the zip code. You can also get directions and perform reverse phone lookups.
This is a free, searchable alternative to printed books.References

If you’re an AT&T customer, you may be directed here automatically.
The process typically involves:
- Selecting whether it’s your first free copy or additional ones.
- Providing your name, delivery address, phone number, and email address.
Note: Some directories may combine yellow and white pages, but white pages have been phased out or separated in many markets.
Step 2: Order by Phone
Call 877-243-8339 (recommended for DexYP/YP directory requests) or 866-329-7118 (an older number still referenced in some sources) to order a free print or CD-ROM version.
Specify if you need the yellow pages, white pages supplement, or a particular edition.
Provide your name, address, phone number, and email.
