Yellow Pages app now being pushed to the TELUS BlackBerry Bold 9780

By on December 23, 2010 at 8:08am in Mobile News, Telus Mobility News


TELUS struck a deal with Yellow Pages back in September to have their mobile app pre-loaded on various BlackBerry devices. Part of the reason was to provide customers with a quick way to find numbers really fast (rather than having to call 411). If you have a BlackBerry Bold 9780 through TELUS the app have now being pushed OTA (over the air) for you too enjoy too – if it’s not there yet simply reboot your device. Other features of the app allows you to book a restaurant reservation and get driving directions. The Yellow Pages app has been downloaded over 1.8 million times.

(Thanks Shawn!)

  1. I really don’t like the idea of companies doing things like this. It’s a good app, but what are they gonna install on your next while you sleep?

  2. I hated this about BBs. If I want it I will seek it out- stop putting things on MY device! Luckily it’s just a shortcut icon and you can choose not to install it/ hide it. But I still much prefer the iPhone way.

  3. I really dislike that Telus does this with the Blackberry OS, they would push it again if you deleted it too. Also I don’t believe there is a way to opt out of it.
    Yellow pages may be a good app, but don’t force people to have it on their device.(This also goes with myspace and all the other junk they put on there) Maybe send a text to inform people that it is available but this is not the right way to go about it.
    Very shady Telus…

  5. Got it pushed to my 9700. Another icon I can add to my handy “junk” folder for all the stuff I’ll never use like my Telus radio.

  6. I was able to get rid of it by deleting the application “service book” found in advanced system settings. No reboot required. It hasn’t returned. Telus torch
