Once upon a time I used to have an address book. It was a physical book with people’s names, addresses and numbers in it.

These days, like so many people, I tend to rely on my mobile phone’s addressbook and my email inbox.

But what would happen if my phone broke or got stolen? I’d hate to think!

Enter ZYB.com

The service allows you to easily backup all your phone contacts remotely. It supports pretty much all the commonly used handsets and works by sending you an sms with the sync configuration details. Save the SMS and then sync your phone using the new profile (this process may vary depending on your phone, but as I’m using a Nokia it’s how it works for me)

You can also sync your calendar entries and your SMS, though personally I’m a lot more interested in my contact data than I am in anything else.

It’s a nice, simple service which “just works” and doesn’t cost anything (at the moment).

envirofone recycle your mobile

Since I got my first mobile phone over ten years ago I’ve probably had a new handset every 18 months or so on average.

So what do you do with the old handsets?

While some of them get replaced because they’re broken a lot of them get replaced simply because the mobile operator gives you a new one for free (or close to it) as an upgrade.

So you end up with a house or office full of perfectly good phones, but no use for them.

Envirofone isn’t the only company that offers a phone recycling service, but it’s one of the few that I know of, which is why I mention them

Envirofone not only recycle old mobile phones, but they also give you money for it. While some of the lower end phones may only fetch a couple of euros, a higher end model could give you over €100, which is more than you’d get if you left it gathering dust.

You’re also doing your bit for the environment, so it’s a win win situation!

UPDATE: Just realised I can’t spell – post title fixed!
