New Sensis site stops directory deliveries

in brief Sensis has this week given Aussies the ability to opt-out of receiving White and Yellow Pages phone directories using an online portal called "Directory Select".

"It's an online extension of a service we provide over the phone already ... should [people] wish to not receive a White or Yellow pages. It's a service where you can order books or cancel deliveries," said Sensis corporate affairs manager Stephen Ronchi.

The web interface allows you to choose which books you would like delivered and which you would prefer not to receive as Sensis looks to provide more choice for those who use online and app-based phone directories and those who need a physical book.

"It's not about moving people online or offline, we recognise that there are millions of people using print and millions of people using online services. We feel it's important to give people a choice," Ronchi said.
