About the People hub
You can save and organise your friends' phone numbers, addresses, and other contact information in the People hub. You can also get in touch with your friends through social networking services.
The social networking services are third-party services and not provided by Nokia. Check the privacy settings of the social networking service you are using as you may share information with a large group of people. The terms of use of the social networking service apply to sharing information on that service. Familiarise yourself with the terms of use and the privacy practices of that service.
Using services or downloading content may cause transfer of large amounts of data, which may result in data traffic costs.
