Swiss Phone Book

The official phone book for Switzerland

The local.ch phone book application helps you find private and business phone numbers and addresses.

It identifies your location and allows you to search in your immediate surroundings. For example you can find your way to the closest restaurant, chemist or petrol station.

This application uses the following permissions:

Services that cost you money:
This is for starting phone calls from within the app. One might call this the second most important permission of our app, after network connectivity. Without it it would not be possible to directly make phone calls from an entry within the app.

Your location:
We use this so that we can search around you. Without this permission we would not be able to tell you where is the closest business you are interested in.

Network communication:
We need internet connectivity. Without this the app would not work.

Your personal information and your account:
This is needed for you to add and merge entries to you address book's account of choice, and for looking up entries that are already stored in your address book. Without this we would not be able to do that.

Phone calls:
This gives our Android users a unique feature, which is to tell them who is calling when there is an incoming phone call from an unknown number (a number which is not stored on your address book).
