Fonebook FAQ

Why can't I download email addresses and Phonenumbers

Simply because Facebook doesn't allow this. If I did allow you to do this then there is a chance you would get your account deleted so I'm simply not willing to risk it.

How do I help spread fonebook

Good question:) there are several ways you can help:

  • Become a Fan of fonebook. Look for the image that says "Become a fan": on the fonebook page Here
  • Invite your firends to use Fonebook. You can do this easliy from within Fonebook. Simply click "Sync Options" on the contact and if there is a button which says "Invite friend to use fonebook!" then click it! Remember you get 2 months Pro membership free for every friend who joins Fonebook as a result of your invit. Please don't spam people though!
  • Finally, why not blog/tweet/post about Fonebook!

Will you support any other email clients

Currently Im looking at supporting google contacts, but I have no plan to support Lotus Notes or Mozilla Thunderbird yet.

Why do some contacts show no picture even though the picture is visible in facebook

Your friends has blocked 3rd party applications like Fonebook from downloading their information - I'm sorry there is nothing I can do about this!

How can I get a log file

Close Fonebook, then create a file called trace.txt in your my documents folder. When you next start Fonebook logging will be done into that file.

Other Question??

If your question is not answered here then feel free to ask me it via the Contact Me page.
