Great disk Richard. I use it frequently. The last copy actually input it's own CD key as it knew that was the last one. Telstra closed them down with copywrite legals..... Yes, I have one at home. www.whitepages.com will do it too though to some extent ;-(

Like phone books, all these old methods are being replaced. You can get a phone number from your mobile or use the internet. CD would change so often it wouldn't be economical or reliable.
If you have a laptop get a wireless internet card and look it up on the www.

Wizard, it wasn't published widely but the reverse lookup is useful even today. Whitepages won't do that.

Been quite a few years since DTMS (Australian Phone Disc) was last released. As stated, they ran into problems with copyright etc. Very unlikely that you'll find one that's more recent than July 2004 (that was the last one they supplie me with - I was a subscriber).

A lot of the Debt collectors and repo agents use a program called Desktop Marketing Systems, Marketing Pro. The last copy I got was for 2003. It is a very useful program,
Not sure if they are still in business.
You can give them a call on (03) 9877 5550
