Text messages archive in the cloud
This London-based start-up offers mobile phone users a backup service with which you can manage and share your mobile life from a secure online account. This also includes text messages. You can easily forward them to “the cloud” and read them back whenever you want. Such an archive would have been a mobile dream come true.
Don’t lose anything
The Mobyko back-up services of course go further than just SMS messages. That makes the service also relevant for these days. You can sync your contacts and calendar, plus there’s the option of saving, streaming and sharing all your photos and videos (i.e. via a Facebook app). Julian Saunders founded Mobyko in 2006, after losing his mobile phone so that he would never lose his important business contacts and valuable family snaps again.
Compatibility as an USP
Google, Apple, Plaxo, Soocial, and many more offer similar services – yet Mobyko has one major advantage over them. The British service already supports cloud syncing for over 500 mobile phone models. They’re striving to add new models every day, ’cause, their fact sheet says:
Mobyko is a freemium service while its premium service costs £25 (€29,50) per annum.
