provider of next-generation, easy-to-use mobile applications, today announced
that its cell phone data backup service, CellBackup® is now available

With CellBackup, cell phone users can store valuable content on their
phones with the full confidence that it can be easily restored on a new
phone should their current phone be lost, destroyed or stolen.
“Consumers around the world have come to depend on their cell phone
as their primary communications tool,” said Rob Meadows, co-founder
and CEO of Lumitrend. “Losing a cell phone – and its stored
content – is inconvenient, and it can significantly impact people’s
personal and professional lives. With Lumitrend’s newest version
of CellBackup, cell phone users will be able to easily and affordably
manage and protect all of the vital data on their phones no matter where
they live.”
