Be careful what you wish for. |
The phone company is not the source of the resident's "home town and state" listed with their name and phone in the TV phone book.
The Villages had us fill out a form at our closing or when we got our Resident ID cards made, that was for our listing in the phone book. We have the option to be listed or not, and
they list the home town and state if a resident is listed, and then the phone number........which is a lot of residents' cell phone number because they choose not to get a land line in the home here.
Sorting the listings by state in an added section of the phone book is an excellent idea. They could reduce the type size to save pages.
I use internet more than the phone book to get numbers, but the purpose of the TV phone book is different here. Reading the home city/town and state of residents helps buyers and newcomers to know that people with whom they have "home" in common like it enough to buy here. It's reassuring to know you're in good company when making the decision to buy here.
