New Product Provides Easy Protection and Management of Contact Information
SAN ANTONIO, July 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) has
announced that people will be able to easily store, update and access the
contact information on their wireless phones through a new downloadable
handset application. Called AT&T Mobile Backup, this application eliminates
the need to spend hours re-entering contacts into a new or replacement
phone. AT&T Mobile Backup also provides several features that help
customers easily manage their wireless handset's contact information.
AT&T Mobile Backup will be available on a variety of handsets,
beginning with six Motorola devices: the Motorola RAZR V3xx, RAZR V3i, RAZR
V3r, V365, SLVR L7 and KRZR K1. The service will be compatible with more
handsets in the future.
"Most people have contact information on their wireless devices that
they do not have stored anywhere else," said Carlton Hill, vice president
of Voice Products and Devices for AT&T's wireless unit. "Because of this,
we are excited to offer a secure backup option to protect this important
information."
Subscribers may add new contacts to their account and edit existing
contacts on the AT&T Mobile Backup Web site at http://mobilebackup.att.com.
Subscribers can also import contacts from Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo!(R) and
AOL. Those new contacts can then be sent to the device over the wireless
network.
An automatic backup option gives customers the flexibility to back up
their information daily or weekly or perform a backup at any time through
the application menu. In addition to storing all contact information on
secure servers, AT&T Mobile Backup adds privacy and security by allowing a
subscriber to remotely erase contacts from a lost or stolen handset from
the Web site.
AT&T Mobile Backup is powered by Asurion, a leading provider of
enhanced services to the wireless industry. The product will be available
on compatible handsets for $1.99 a month. There are no additional charges
for the data transmission to back up or restore contacts.
Customers with compatible devices can purchase AT&T Mobile Backup by
visiting http://mobilebackup.att.com or an AT&T retail store or by texting
"MBU" to 386.
