YELLOWPAGES.com is an Internet web site operated by AT&T Interactive, a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T. Both sites' operations were merged into Yellowpages.com in 2005. As a result of SBC Communications' merger with AT&T, the post merger AT&T wholly owned an additional telephone directory website AnyWho.com. AnyWho.com, though owned by AT&T Knowledge Ventures, was never merged into Yellowpages.com due to stake conflicts with BellSouth. The acquisition of BellSouth by AT&T on December 29, 2006 led to both companies being wholly owned. The AT&T family includes... YELLOWPAGES.com and 1-800-YellowPages. In July 2008, YellowPages.com's YPMobile application for the iPhone was ranked #21 out of the top 100 applications downloaded for Apple's smartphone. BellSouth and SBC purchased YellowPages.com reportedly for US $120 Million. The companies formed a joint venture to run the business. The two companies had been working together on another joint venture called Cingular, a wireless carrier in the US. Each company had its own Online YellowPages: BellSouth owned RealPages.com and SBC owned SmartPages.com.
