Store Your Sms Online With Yahoo, Retrieve Them From Email !

[Arun 795]

Yahoo SMS Backup is a service for storing a virtually unlimited number of SMS messages online. If you're a mobile user, you can back up your text messages and retrieve them later in Yahoo! Mail. The messages are stored in a folder 'SMS Backup' created specifically for your backed-up SMS messages. Many mobile devices have limited storage capacity for saving messages. If you have been deleting important messages, use SMS Backup now to store your treasured SMS messages on Yahoo! Mail.

Just forward an SMS message to 82438243. They will send registration instructions to your mobile phone. You must complete registration on a computer with an Internet connection. You can also register online by requesting a confirmation code to your mobile number. After registering, you can forward SMS messages to 82438243.

Registering for this service is free. But there is cost per SMS which is charged by the operator as follows:

Airtel, Idea, Aircel, Spice, RIM - Rs. 3

Hutch, BPL, Tata - Rs. 2

MTNL , BSNL - Re. 1

You cannot download back the SMS to your mobile phone. They are investing ways to include this feature in future versions of SMS Backup. Only SMS can be stored for now. Backed up SMS messages would also not have info about the original message (original sender info, date and time etc) because when you forward a message, it is treated as a new message and does not have the original info any more. They are exploring other ways to capture this information as well.

who the hell will use this service !! its better to buy a phone with a memory than paying 3 rs for a sms backup which u cant even retrieve

Its better to take a backup of all sms on the pc and keeping an attachment in the email.

Spending Rs2/sms to backup at the very thought of it sounds stupid. These companies comeup with such ideas to fool and loot us...

I'm using this service for over a month now and since my mobile bills are reimbursed - price is not a big issue.

My LG RD 6000 has a paltry 50 SMS inbox limit so I've fwd almost 25 SMS to yahoo to date.

Its a good start but for future versions, we need some automated way to cc: yahoo mail so we don't have to send each SMS which is a waste of time.

A tie up with each operator can fwd ALL SMS to yahoo and boost revenues also while saving us time.
