New Verizon SuperPages Providence Phone Books Deliver Chance to Win $2 Million Contest

New Verizon SuperPages Providence Phone Books Deliver Chance to Win $2 Million Contest

Latest White Pages and Yellow Pages Telephone Directories, Including More Numbers, Now Arriving in Providence, Rhode Island

Providence, RI (PRWEB) April 28, 2005

The 2005 editions of the Verizon SuperPages Providence white pages and yellow pages books, now being delivered to business and residential doorsteps across the city, feature more telephone numbers, expanded content and a chance to win a $2 million SuperPages Spending Spree contest.

A sweepstakes game piece inside the yellow pages telephone book makes it easy to enter – players just scratch off answers to four questions about the Providence SuperPages directory and mail in the game piece for a chance to win. Other prizes include a $10,000 SuperPages Spending Spree and $25 SuperPages gift cards.

This year marks the return of separate white pages and yellow pages directories, following the introduction of a combined Providence telephone directory last year. The latest edition of the Verizon yellow pages includes 165 more pages of numbers and information than the 2004 book, nearly a 15 percent increase in the amount of content that lets consumers find the businesses that are right for them.

"Based on this year's exceptional growth in yellow pages content, we've again separated the directories for easier use," said Todd Sanislow, general sales manager for Verizon SuperPages in Rhode Island. "The increased content – both advertising and community and lifestyle features – gives consumers even more information when they search and shop for goods and services using our print product."

The Verizon SuperPages Providence yellow pages feature a Community Magazine, a Dining Your Way! Restaurant guide and an exclusive Health and Wellness section.

Area residents who do not receive the 2005 Verizon SuperPages Providence-area white pages and yellow pages by the end of May can contact the Verizon SuperPages Directory Order Center at 800-888-8448 to request a copy of each book.

Internet shoppers in Rhode Island can get local search results using the No. 1 online directory, superpages. com.

People on the go can get phone numbers, addressed, maps and more for businesses in Providence and across the country using SuperPages On the Go on their Verizon Wireless cell phones.
