I always visit Canpages when I need to look for a way to contact a specific person in Canada. Canpages is an online directory that lists down people and businesses. It is a great alternative to a published book directory. Moreover, the directory is easily updated online and more persons and businesses are added which makes it a better choice for lookup than the book directory.

The site is simple to use: there are only four sections of categories to work with. Business Search looks through their business directory to look for a specific business in a particular location. People Search searches through their phone book by specifying the name of the person or the phone number. Reverse lookup allows specifying the reverse: that is, a phone number must be specified then the search returns the details associated with the given phone number. Map Search looks to and around a specified point of interest to locate a particular business or person.

Canpages offers more flexibility than the published book telephone directory. It is a nifty website that contains all that is needed to find a particular business and person. Their robust database system can be accessed not only within the country, but outside of Canada as well. However, the entire database does not really cover every province and territory in Canada. Nevertheless, this site is still a good beginning for the Canpages to take the phone book directory online.

I hope the site would soon add more provinces and territories to make it fully a Canadian telephone directory that is very useful. They have already made a wide reach with a part of Canada and I am sure they are taking strides in putting more and more of Canada online. Canpages is truly a remarkable site who has made online telephone directory a possibility.
