AT&T offers mobile backup solution

Phones get lost, broken, dropped in toilets, and otherwise afflicted on a daily basis. In addition to dealing with the emotional repercussions of losing your treasured mobile device, the fallout from losing all of your contacts can be catastrophic. There are a number of online backup services currently available, but AT&T is now set to offer a carrier supported backup solution to subscribers. AT&T Mobile Backup functions as a small application downloaded to your handset. Once activated, the service begins an automatic backup process that can be scheduled at the interval of your choosing. Once the system has uploaded your info, it becomes available via an online interface. You are then free to add, delete, and import contacts from your phone or the web, with all changes being reflected on your device. The service is currently available for a host of handsets, including the majority of AT&T’s non smartphone devices. Hit the link for complete instructions, and a full rundown of supported phones. We heard the launch date for this service would be June, 8th but it looks like it’s available now for $1.99 a month. A small price to pay for the security of your precious names and numbers.
