Phoneloser Monthly is a newsletter that is printed every few months/years/days by your friends at phonelosers.org. Each issue is at least 8 pages, chock full of articles, games, word searches, puzzles, advertisements. It’s the most useless thing you could possibly hope to read, but at least it’s fun. There is no official format for Phoneloser Monthly and there is no strict schedule for releasing each issue. Originally I hoped to release a few issues per year, but it seems that I occasionally let 7 or 8 years slip by without publishing.

Much of the actual content you’ll find inside each issue is just ripped from this website. For example, Issue #1 contained the April 2002 article Hacker Programs for your Palm and Issue #2 contained the article praising Vonage. But besides the rehashed articles, you’ll find fun and entertaining word searches, phone number lists, facts, crossword puzzles, phone call transcripts and advertisements begging you to buy more stuff from us. So each issue should contain plenty of original content for you.

Each issue is guaranteed to be 8 pages or more and the pages are 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches. We promise no quality, you get what you get. But if you like this site, you’ll probably like the newsletter. You can order issues for $1.00 each (plus $1.00 shipping), but that would be dumb since you can just print the PDF versions of them, which are linked below. So dumb. Really really dumb. For real.
