Product Doesn't Match Editorial Review!
Amazon's Editorial Review indicates that you can update mailing lists with this product "with the click of a button".While the productdoes contain the listings, updating your mailing list will require theclicking of a multitude of buttons, after you print out or write down allof the information.The product has no ability to create or modify a mailmerge list.The Yellow Pages USA Deluxe edition apparently has the abilityto create a mail merge list for use with a word processor, but perINFOUSA's sales staff this can only be done for a single heading/zip codecombination at a time.The Deluxe version is not available at this timethrough Amazon, and is quite a bit more expensive ($150). ...

A good product gone terribly wrong
In my past life, I used the phone disc power finder in my research efforts back in 1997-1998 and found them to be the best business productivity tools on the market. The "superman" of market research products. Upon using the latest versions of the phone disc, I find myself in some "bizarro" world and left utterly speechless. In a span of 2 years, they have destroyed what was once an essential business tool. While, the basic setup is essentially the same, they now limit mass exports to other software programs forcing you to buy more export privilege. I for one am outraged not necessarily at the fact that I have to pay more to export listings, but that infousa can get away with this bs. Anyone know of any alternative vendors..give me a ring..please.

Useless
It willonly let you export 1000 names for printing purposes then they want you to pay annualy for limited information. Do not buy this product. ...

Do not ignore the negative rewiews as I did
Do not buy this it is not what it used to be. dont waste your money!!!!!

Unhappy with Select Phone 2001
I have Pro-cd select phone 1997, I thought I would like to have a later edition, so I purchased Pro-cd select phone 2001. What a let down, nothing like the earlier edition, this one must have been written by someone who wrote programs for free, well Pro-cd sure got their moneys worth. Save your money get all phone books from all the states takes more time to look up but at least it would be hassel free.I would advise everyone to by pass this program.

What has happened to phone CD's!?
The quality of this publishers product line has declined dramatically. The Pro CD and Info USA line used to be invaluable to our firm and the previously easy to use database marketing tools now have limits and features rendering them essentially useless. Info USA's 2001 YellowPages main menu is now a clunking wanna-be web browser designed to push users to their web site rather than aid consumers in using the data contained on the CD; the one purchased! Anyone with info on another publishers product please let me know asap c/o ExAir@GTE.net ... Read more

Good Telephone Tool
The purpose of purchasing Select Phone was to have a source for multiple listings in specific regions. Select Phone delivered. It is easy to use and the geographic target and neighbor search features made it a bargain. Theonly draw back is the limit of 2500 records for the software whenexporting. Additional records must be purchased thru customer service atInfoUSA at 8¢ each.

The older version had more features, unlimited access
I purchased this program first in 1998. It was outstanding as a sales lead tool. You could input the SIC (Standard Industrial Code)and retrieve listings of business leads. You could then import them into Streets Plusseamlessly, and it would generate a map with how ever many businesses yousaved in your worksheet. This produced a "connect the dots"travel route on one page, and made it unbelievably easy to plan a sales dayfilled with 10 - 12 calls, with the most efficient route. "Windsheildtime" was cut down by about 70%. Unfortunately, they dropped themapping feature on this latest version, and they also now limit the amountof leads you can actually access to about 3,000 which is a hummingbird eggcompared to the old ostrich egg. The remaining names have to be purchasedthrough a download at an unreasonable price in my opinion. What a shame. Iam now in search of another program.

Select Phone is decent but lacking punch
Select Phone is a good product but make sure you know what you are getting.If you are planning on doing a lot of labels or lists, you can't extract all the names you need.It is a good program though that hasplenty of names from all across the country. ... Read more

Not what you think
It is not very user friendly and you have to pay extra money to get the information you really want to get from purchasing it.It is pretty useless actually save for in a couple areas.I would not purchase it.

Poor misrepresentation of a product!
I was told by InfoUSA staff that this was the replacement for 88 Million Households. When the CD arrived I found that it did not have the capability of searching by address. This was a big disappointment since that was my only way of utilizing this product to reach my goal. Also the constant windows with advertising from InfoUSA are an annoyance. I would not recommend this product to anyone needing to locate mass amounts of information or access to info by address search. It only searches by name or phone number. ... Read more

Powerfinder Pro CD 1999
As far as content and ease of use is concerned, this product is very good. HOWEVER: You can only export a total of 5000 records and you are not able to remove duplicates before you export (so you waste tons of records!). When you use up your 5000, you are prompted to call a toll-free number to purchase additional records and the company charges you an arm and a leg... up to 3 times more than you paid for the original software for a smaller number of records! And you can't just buy a new CD if you've already installed the first one on your computer! Looks like they've got you coming and going... ... Read more

Not what you are lead to believe.
If you are planning to use this for mass marketing, be aware that you are limited in the number of contacts that you can export. After that, you must pay the company again.

For mass marketers, this is a very useful tool. However, the methods this company uses to promote itself and it's products are surprisingly shady.

Not what you are lead to believe.
This company borders on deceptive practices when describing their software products. If you are wanting to use this product for mailing lists, be aware that you are limited in the number of listings you can export, then you must purchase more.

I'd say the service that this company provides is invaluable to mass marketer's, but the way they promote themselves and their software products is surprisingly shady.

Product can't be used to create databases
I bought this product with the intent of analyzing certain industry sectors. Unfortunately, information from the CD cannot be downloaded into a database for cross-referencing. The first response to my call to the manufacturer was "Where did you get this number?" I was later told that I needed to buy the Deluxe version. ... Read more
