Simple Phone Book

Simple Phone Book is a tiny and portable software utility designed as a simple means to keep track of a phone book with the contacts' names, phone numbers and email addresses.

Before proceeding any further, you should know that the tool hasn't been updated for a long time, and it doesn't work on later Windows editions.

Provided that you have .NET Framework set up on the PC, you don't have to install anything else. This means that you can save Simple Phone Book anywhere on the disk and just click the executable to launch it. This also works when copying it to a USB flash drive to run it on any PC you come in contact with.

Outdated interface with basic options

The GUI is represented by a small and standard window that doesn't contain any visually appealing elements, yet it is simple to navigate. You can add a new entry to the phone book by specifying a person's first and last name, phone number, together with email address.

It is possible to remove entries from the list anytime or to edit their properties in order to update contact information, assign different colors to the entries to easily tell apart email addresses from phone numbers, for example, make the frame stay on top of other windows, as well as resort to a basic search function.

The software application didn't hang or crash our evaluation on Windows XP. It had minimal impact on computer performance, using low CPU and RAM. Although it doesn't work on modern Windows versions, Simple Phone Book could be the ideal solution for users running older OS who prefer a straightforward phone book manager to complicated features.
