A free service is launching shortly that will finally put an end to the incredibly inconvenient loss of contact information that happens when people switch their mobile phones. The service is named BUMP, which is an acronym for the phrase “Back Up My Phone.” Users will be able to securely upload all of their contacts (address book), calendar, To-Do list, SMS messages pictures, videos, and ringtones onto the website at http://www.bump.ac. They will then be able to download all of that useful information onto a different phone in a completely different location.
To many, the launch of the service is seen as an important step in making mobile phone use more convenient for everyone. People who damage or lose their phones will no longer have to go about trying to get all of their friend’s and family’s phone numbers. Also, as more and more people use their phones to take pictures and document their lives for social media sites like Facebook, the convenience of never losing a picture or video clip can be crucial. BUMP even allows its customers to share their pictures, ringtones, videos, and other phone content with other BUMP customers. All of these services are available through the company at no charge.
Others have attempted to offer a service similar to BUMP, but none have been nearly as successful at implementing so many features for so many different kinds of users. To date, BUMP works on all major handset varieties and networks. The service currently supports more handsets than any other service on the market, and this support continues to grow every day.
To those familiar with the popular junglesms service, this is nothing new. The same company responsible for junglesms has been behind BUMP and many other useful mobile application and services innovations. They are constantly working on new mobile phone applications for their users, many of which are offered for free with a BUMP account. The launch of BUMP will be about more than the addition of another mobile phone service to the world. It will be about freeing up everyone’s time and allowing them to get the most out of their mobile devices.
Once again, for those interested in using the free service, the website address for BUMP is:
http://www.bump.ac. You can register your interest on the website and also follow the progress and ultimately become a fan of the service on Facebook
