OnMobile Launches Phone Backup Product With Airtel, Maxis And Indosat

OnMobile Global, one of India’s largest telecom VAS and data solutions company, has announced the launch of a comprehensive phone back-up product with Bharti Airtel, Maxis and Indosat. The product allows subscribers to effortlessly take a back-up of all types of personal information including files, messages, videos, photos, music, contacts, calendar, events and tasks stored on their mobile. All the data is backed up ‘over-the-air’ to the operator network. The data stored is safe and secure to provide end users a complete peace of mind.

The end user needs to download the user-friendly handset client from either the service provider’s website or by an SMS request.

The service is easy to use with an in-built intuitive User Interface (UI). It is available on both GPRS and non-GPRS handsets on a monthly subscription basis.

Commenting on the service, Arvind Rao, CEO and co-founder, OnMobile Global said, “The phone back-up product ensures that subscribers retain precious personal information stored on their mobile phones, in the event of theft, loss, damage, mistakes and phone upgrades. They can easily retrieve their personal information over-the-air from the operator network. Even on purchase of a new mobile handset, the service helps them to effortlessly migrate all their personal information to the new handset.”

He added, “All our innovations strive to add value to the end user’s VAS experience. This product is aimed at consumers, who value their personal information stored on the mobile and seek to insure the same.”

The back-up product is easy to use and all features are accessible either from the phone application or self-service web interface. Users can subscribe to the service by simply sending ‘BACKUP’ as SMS to a toll-free number. The product seeks to address the subscriber’s primary concern regarding the safety and security of their personal information by enabling secure transmission of consumer’s data over-the-air.
