Web-based Email Solutions Offer Backup For Cell Phone Contacts

Because most mobile devices have at least a WAP browser, one alternative to the e-mail service provided by your cell carrier is to use a Web-based e-mail client. You can access your e-mail, and many Web-based e-mail services will send alerts to your mobile phone to let you know when you have new e-mail. Both Yahoo! mail and MSN Hotmail support mobile devices. A Web-based e-mail service also solves another problem for many mobile users: storing contact information for a large number of people. While some devices, a PDA for instance, can store a large number of contacts in great detail, the average cell phone is limited in the amount of contact information it can store. Some cell phones don’t store e-mail contacts at all. A Web-based e-mail client usually enables you to store and manage your contacts on the Web site and to access your address book from your mobile device when you are composing e-mail. Some of the e-mail accounts provided by cell carriers also have a Web-based interface where you can manage your e-mail and address book. Storing and managing your contacts via a Web site is also safer. If your mobile device is lost or stolen, your contact information isn’t on it. Your information will be safe and sound on a server, and you won’t lose a thing. This also is more convenient when you are switching to a new phone; you don’t have to re-enter all of your contacts on a new device. Just use the new device to access your online address book.
