Backing Up Phones

How many people back up their mobile phone contacts?
Very few. Yet for most people their mobile is their only source for their contacts. Gone are the days when people have a written phone book.
What are the solutions?
Sim card readers are cheap and easily available but have two main problems:

• They only read the SIM not the phone memory
• They can be lost or broken just as easily as the phone

The other option is backing up to PC. This is probably better, but the phone data connections do not always work - Mac users have problems with Nokias, for example and for many people the technology is too complex.
Data is held on your PC, which means it can't be accessed if you loose your phone when you're away from it.

We have developed a solution which gets around both of these problems. It's a Symbian application that backs up your phone book (memory AND sim) to your web-based messaging account, txt4everywhere. It doesn't require a data connection or Bluetooth and is fast and simple.
