No, not safe.

Because once you sign up for an "application" you are also giving permission for the originator of that app, and everyone else (your so-called Friends) who gets access to your Facebook page, to see your personal data.

It's dangerous to put your phone number down, because with that, they can identify your home address too. Just "google" your phone number, and see that it will pull up your address too.

Use only IM or email addresses for personal contact information. Thought everyone knew that.

(btw, your real friends should already know your phone number, why should you advertise it to strangers?)
