“If you are afraid of losing all the contacts stored on your mobile, try ZYB.com a free and easy to use service that allows you to store and manage your mobiles data online for free.”

The service is free and works with more than 200 different phone models. It’s very simple to get started, just sign up on zyb.com, select your mobile phone model and in a matter of seconds you will receive a message (SMS) that automatically configures your mobile to your ZYB profile. 

Once configured, the mobile is now ready to be synchronised with ZYB. No installation of software required. After the first synchronisation the mobiles contacts and calendar can be edited from the user’s personal profile on zyb.com and all changes can be copied directly to the mobile.

ZYB allows users to store an unlimited number of contacts and calendar entries and access them online from anywhere in the world. As such ZYB also works as a backup, so if a user is unlucky and loses his mobile, all he has to do to get his data back is to sync a new mobile with his ZYB account.

“Most of us don’t memorise more than a small fraction of the phone numbers we store on our mobile. So it’s no wonder why people dread losing their phone. ZYB puts an end to this worry”, says Tommy Ahlers, CEO and co-founder of ZYB.

But the easy online backup is only half the story of ZYB. When people have backed up their mobiles, they can start sharing their contacts and calendars with other ZYB users.

ZYB enables users to:

• Backup their mobile’s contacts and calendar
• Manage their mobile’s contacts and calendar online
• Share contacts and calendar with friends and family
• Import public calendars to mobile.
• Clean up contact list with the unique merge contacts feature
• Synchronize their mobile’s data with other devices and services (iPod, Outlook and others)

The best things in life are free, including all the current ZYB services. So go ahead and read more or watch a video over at zyb.com. I think you will agree with me that the design and concept of zyb.com is pretty cool!

   Interesting to see a plug for ZYB here. We are launching a remote backup service based on the online backup software from Remote Backup Systems. It is more geared towards servers and workstations, and contains native support for SQL and Exchange files. Check em out at http://remote-backup.com
