| 616812 | 2007-12-01 02:33:00 | Put the name of the shop into Google. And change the regional setting to New Zealand. Sometimes it works faster than yellow :2cents: | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||

They have also contracted out a lot of NZ jobs to the Philippines , so a lot of people have lost their job . nzherald . co . nz/category/story . cfm?c_id=74&objectid=10479012" target="_blank">www . nzherald . co . nz These are reasons why I din't renew my advertsing with them, as I would prefer to spend my advertising dollar with a NZ owned company . There website also still doesn't work properly in Opera, (no search boxes) even after I contacted them and also after informing one of their representatives on this forum . |

| 616814 | 2007-12-01 18:06:00 | Yes the online yellow pages suck. They are very badly laid out and the categories are not consistent. Regards Digby |

| 616815 | 2007-12-01 23:25:00 | Apparently the Canadians have really set a world precedent here. Since taking over Yellow Pages and re-branding it, they have fairly conclusively shown that Telecom are not always the world's worst. Is Yellow the new Blue?. |

They haven't yet updated the White pages site, so that does still work in Opera . . . for now . At least telecom is now largely owned by NZers, mainly by mom and dad investors, so a lot of the profits telecom make stay in NZ . This is unlike companies that are owned by offshore interests . I am very much buy from NZ owned companies when I can . |
