Function and Response Fields
The GET/people method returns a list of contacts in the user's phone book.
The response returns either company (corporate) or all (including personal) contacts, depending on the type parameter.
The response returns the following fields:
- ID - the particular ID of each contact in the phonebook.
- title - the title of the contact. When creating a contact in the phonebook, "Mr." is the default choice.
- fname - the first name of the contact.
- lname - the last name of the contact.

- username - the username of the contact's Telebroad account (usually this is identical to the contact's email).

- status_msg - the availability message of the (corporate) contact set for himself in the Teleconsole.
- contactType - either "corporate" or "personal".
- public - a value of 1 means the contact is public. A value of 0 means it is not.
