Hello, I have this setup: - RPi3 - Raspbian Jessie Lite - bluez 5.40 - ofono 1.18 in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf I set this class: 0x640408. Using bluetoothctl I connected my phone to the SBC and I can make a call using the ofono tests. I wonder how to read the contacts. I launched test-phonebook but I got this error: > Method "Import" with signature "" on interface "org.ofono.Phonebook" > doesn't exist Do I need to enable something other before? Thanks Marco

I've done some work with this. Here are a few points I've learned about dealing with PBAP. Yes, it definitely requires obexd. Obexd uses dbus, in session mode. This implies that the user that runs obex must access the data in the same session. If you want to run obexd in one shell, and access the information from another shell, or application, you'll want to use the system bus like so: export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket" You can validate that with "qdbus --system" in another session. If you see orf.bluez.obex that you've connected it to the system dbus. You'll also need to add dbus permissions to access via dbus, or a non-root user won't even be able to start it. to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf add: <policy user="user"> <allow own="org.bluez.obex"/> <allow send_destination="org.bluez.obex"/> </policy> oh, also, the files downloaded are in vcard format. I would highly recommend python's vobject module, or similar for ease of managing the data. The device needs to be paired and trusted, but it does not have to be connected to pull PBAP information. I don't think this is important, but I always found it interesting. All of my code written depends on the device currently being connected though. This isn't ofono specific stuff, so if you have any questions you can email me off list. I also have a git repo out there with some pbap handling. I'd like to do more with MAP, and other obex based protocols, but time is limited.

I have bluez-obexd installed.

I think it just means that once it was independent and now it is part of bluez but nevertheless is still delivered as an extra package.
