This is interesting โ I just did the same and none of that info is in there, and I've been using Facebook on my Android phone for years. I wonder if it's because the UK/EU has different personal data disclosure rules? What section of the zip was that all in?

nope, regular cellular calls with the stock 'Phone' android app
I used facebook's integrated SMS+cell call functionality for about a week at one point, but disabled it quickly after and went back to the stock app

The 'Contact Info' tab, inside 'html/contact_info.htm'
the only other interesting page I found was the 'Ads' page, which shows all the keywords that are used for you in targeting

Inside 'html/account_info.htm'. There's an 'index.htm' that serves as a homepage to all of the photos+ads+messages+videos+pokes pages in that folder too IIRC

my ZIP file was ~250mb, but if you have more photos and videos it'll be much larger because it has every photo and video across every album and PM

I've written a script to dump all cell records in the ZIP file and print statistics
Here is what it shows on my profile, pretty chilling
The Ruby script can be found at gist.github.com/dylanmckay/2b1โฆ pic.twitter.com/jvutJoJ4Lc

There should be a ZIP file with your username in it. Extract that by right clicking, open the 'html' folder, open 'index.htm' in a web browser then navigate to the 'Contact Info' tab
