ADAFFIX is an award winning mobile application for smartphones that shows the photo and up-to-date status of your Facebook friends when they call.

The app also instantly provides alternative merchants when the business you call does not answer the phone.

13. What’s special about ADAFFIX on Blackberry?

Blackberrys below v 5.0 do not fully support ADAFFIX Caller Lookup. This is due to the fact that Blackberry does not support pop-ups while the phone is ringing and also due to the fact that most Blackberrys (expept for e.g. Bold) do not support 3G. Despite these limitations you can still use ADAFFIX:  When you receive a call let the phone ring approx. 3 times. After pressing the answer button take a quick look at the screen and you will see information about the caller.
