Answer 2

No, unfortunately Telegram Bot API doesn't return phone number. You should either use Telegram API methods instead or ask it explicitly from the user. You cannot get "friends" of a user as well.

You will definitely retrieve the following information:

1. userid
2. first_name
3. content (whatever it is: text, photo, etc.)
4. date (unixtime)
5. chat_id

If user configured it, you will also get last_name and username.
