phone directory
Numbers and names
A phone directory is a listing of telephone numbers, traditionally published as a book organized alphabetically by name.
The white pages list residential numbers; the yellow pages list businesses by category.
Physical directories have largely given way to online searches: I looked up her number in the phone directory.
Also called a phone book or telephone directory.
