white pages
Residential number directory
White pages are the section of a telephone directory listing residential and business numbers alphabetically by name, as opposed to the yellow pages organized by category.
The term persists for online people-search services: I found her number in the white pages.
The name comes from the traditional white paper stock used for these listings.
