San Jose, Calif. - April 1st, 2009
FusionOne, the leading provider of mobile phone content portability services, today announced that its MightyBackup Contacts product has now protected and managed over 1.5 billion mobile phone contacts.MightyBackup Contacts wirelessly backs up and syncs the address book stored on a user’s mobile phone. When the user replaces their phone, MightyBackup Contacts automatically transfers the address book information to the new phone, ensuring the freedom of mobile content portability for consumers. The affordable service enables online management of the address book and secure protection for the valuable contact information stored on a user’s mobile phone.
Backup Assistant, the Verizon Wireless version of MightyBackup Contacts, has become the top mobile application for Verizon Wireless, and ranks in the top ten across all mobile applications in revenues. Overall, MightyBackup Contacts has been successfully deployed on many carriers worldwide, including Verizon Wireless, TELUS, Bell Mobility, Telstra, and Cellular South.
“This milestone means a lot to us,” said Mike Mulica, chief executive officer of FusionOne. “Not only is it a very significant number, but it confirms our standing as the undisputed leader in mobile content portability services. Increasingly, mobile users are embracing the importance of being able to protect and transfer their mobile content.”

For carriers, it provides an opportunity to offer a valuable service to their customer base, making the phone upgrade decision easier, and enhances consumer loyalty.”

It is available through many carrier mobile application stores or as a carrier-branded service, with pricing determined by the carrier.
