Comments on: SMS backup and storage http://ileher.com/2007/01/28/sms-backup-and-storage/ Catching the Internet wave in India Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:50:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Amit http://ileher.com/2007/01/28/sms-backup-and-storage/comment-page-1/#comment-1965 Amit Thu, 01 Mar 2007 06:21:53 +0000 http://ileher.com/2007/01/28/sms-backup-and-storage/#comment-1965 I liked the concept of sms being stored, sometime back I came across some service, that would keep your data in sync across places, not really sure about the name, as it was a bit long time ago. But what really excites me is the low cost, high penetration of SMS. It is not only the SMS storage that is exciting, but more over SMS can be used to do. Companies are trying to use the low cost sms for just more than ringtones and users passing on jokes and some random messages. It can be used for m-Commerce, m-Ordering and multitude of other things. But the question really is how to circumvent the operator. Operators in India (abroad also) are really a bully breed.

I dont think operators doing this would help. This requires a service across all operators and only an app developer can do justice. We will have to wait for prices to come down and when operators allow better revenue sharing. But Radheshyam, I am interested to know what specific technical snags you hit when you were researching on this? This is certinaly an open opportunity but not a low hanging one.

I diid some reaserach and got some conclusions It is not that easy from technical perspective as it looks from functional there are various companies in Europe working on subscription basis which backup your data online. https://zyb.com/ is the one infact offering free backup worldwide for contacts. It did not work on my cell as that model is not supported in Australia but you cna try if it works for you. But you are right. This is till open opportunity in India as usage of mobile data is increasing and people are stroring important information into it. But I think some point of time operators will provide this facilty than third party. Hi vivek,
