contacts backup
« on: September 14, 2011, 12:30:19 AM »
Hi I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions how to back up my cell phone contacts? I personally have sprint if carrier makes a difference? I know they offer service for a few bucks a month but is there a way to do it for free? Thanks!

what kind of phone is it?
Most smart phones can be synced with google or other services. On basic phones you can probably just bluetooth all your contacts to your computer

google "bitpim" and see if it supports your phone.  kind of a pain to install but better than retyping everything.
