The Role Of Online Directory Enquiries In Modern Day Communication


 
Communication
The progress of the telephone extended to the invention of the cellular phone and the internet. Now, we can use the internet even without the use of the telephone. Wireless connections are widely available.

The internet has paved the way for so many benefits and conveniences. Perhaps one of the most significant is that we can now easily find people we have no means of communicating with in the past. It has taken the place of conventional directory enquiries or the process of consulting your BT telephone directory or home phone book. Finding people is now very easy.

The internet is home to many online directories. Whether you are on the lookout for people finder system or postcode finder system, the internet has it all for you. It is now possible to find a friend from your childhood days or a relative that you have somehow failed to get in touch with in the past few years.

Reconnecting lives is perhaps the biggest contribution of online directory enquiries and private companies today. If you want to know your old friend or long lost relatives current phone number or address, you can use programs such as people finder, phone number finder or postcode finder. Send them postcards or packages. Call them and catch up with the goings on in their lives.

Phone books still exist. But unlike before, not a lot of people still use them. They have virtually become obsolete mainly because many people have opted not to have their phone number and address listed in the phone book. When home phone systems have become commercially available, having your number listed is imperative. But now that security and privacy is getting in the way, many request for their number not to be listed.

You might wonder how online directory enquiries systems such as people finder and postcode finder are any different from home phone books and BT telephone directories. If the person requests not to have his or her address and number listed, you might think that the scenario is the same for online sources.

The thing about online directories is that they have access to data that are otherwise unavailable in local directories. That means you have better chances of finding the information you are looking for from these sources.

There is also the added electoral roll feature. Many reliable UK online directories make use of electoral roll database in their searches. This electoral roll is a collection of information of the registered voters in the UK. If you are finding a person who is a registered voter in the UK, his or her information will most likely pop up in directories that make use of this database.

But for you to make accurate and reliable sources, you have to know a few pertinent pieces of information about the person you are looking for first, such as complete name and current address. It will start to get more difficult if you only have old address. This is still possible though since many of these directories can offer you more comprehensive search through a membership program. They can allow you to search using the old address and then give you a link to the new address of the person. The data is updated regularly as registered voters update their data. But the results can be favourable for you since they have the information of voters registered way back in 1999. Those who register and update their information will be accounted for.

Aside from directory enquiries, there are also other means of finding the people you might know. Search engines, for instance, have become indispensable. People have online accounts now so search engines can easily pull their records up. People finder is also a specialty of certain networking sites. If you do not have an account yet, you can make one. If you include your complete details such as address, old address, elementary, high school or college you attended or your previous work places, the system will automatically recommend friends that you might know or have the same profile as you. This can also double as a postcode finder. Since most people do not include their complete home address details in their social network profiles, they mostly use postcodes for basic details.
