Honest 836 Report post Posted May 30, 2008 First Phone Back up Product Introduced Leading VAS (value-added services) and data solutions company, OnMobile Global, along with Bharti Airtel, Maxis, and Indosat, has launched a phone back-up product claimed to be the first-of-its-kind. The product allows subscribers back-up all of their personal information including files, messages, videos, photos, music, contacts, calendar, and events stored on their mobile phones. To avail the product, users need to download the handset client from either the service provider's Web site or through an SMS request. To subscribe they need to send BACKUP to a toll-free number. The product/service is available on both GPRS and non-GPRS handsets for a monthly subscription fee. The service promises to address subscribers' primary concern regarding safety and security of their personal data by enabling secure transmission of subscriber data over-the-air. And, subscribers can easily retrieve their personal information over-the-air from the operator network. Commenting on the service, Arvind Rao, chief executive officer and co-founder of OnMobile Global, said the phone back-up product is aimed at consumers who value their personal information stored on their mobiles and seek to insure the same.

tanveer 59 Report post Posted May 30, 2008 isnt dashwire suppposed to do the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honest 836 Report post Posted May 30, 2008 ^^^ @Tanveer Yes my dear friend, this service seems to be like Dashwire. But the difference is that in this service your stored information like SMS, Contacts, Music, Videos, etc. cannot be made public, like it can be on Dashwire. In Dashwire we can make all our messages, videos, music files public whereas in this service all our data will be private only. That means other users can't view / access anyone's data. Regards.

city02 63 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 yes, upload does not delete your previous erased entries so if you ever have to download, all your deleted entries will get copied and you will have to manually delete each one! in my case my handset has about 275 entries while the server backup has over 325...

KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 ^^^ In my case, upload shows 100% success, but when you do download, the data shown is the same as the old un-updated data. I think this problem is with Nokia handsets only or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
