My Mobile Vault, an innovative provider of mobile phone contact back-up and synchronisation announced today it will give away free lifetime licenses to the first 1,000 GSM Mobile Phone users. My Mobile Vault is looking for a select group of 1,000 users who want to help shape the current product as well as future versions in exchange for a free license - forever.

    My Mobile Vault is making this offer in order to have 1,000 sophisticated GSM Mobile Phone users act as long-term product testers to provide valuable and timely feedback on this and future products. Lou Altman, My Mobile Vault President said, "My Mobile Vault backs up your phone contacts and appointments over the air (OTA), to a secure server. My Mobile Vault also synchronises information between your phone and Outlook."

    "Everyone has, or knows somebody who has lost or upgraded their phone," said Altman. "Replacing the phone is the easy part, but how do you move or restore your contact list to your new handset?" he asks. "Simple," he added, "My Mobile Vault backs up your phone and ensures you never lose your contacts."

    My Mobile Vault provides easy-to-use instructions on how to back-up the phone. Phone-specific settings enable the phone to send the contact list and appointments to a secure server over the air via GPRS. Users can then go to the website, sign in and manage their contacts and appointments.

    The My Mobile Vault back-up service works on hundreds of different mobile phone models across hundreds of GSM networks. My Mobile Vault works by sending the phone-specific synchronisation settings to the subscriber's handset.

    Since My Mobile Vault operates on Global System for Mobiles (GSM) networks and SyncML-enabled phones, My Mobile Vault is specifically looking for users from Europe, Asia and Australia. Only the first 1,000 users will qualify for a free, lifetime account.

    "We are doing this so we can have direct access to consumers' views on My Mobile Vault," said Altman. "This process will help My Mobile Vault tailor our offerings to suit our customer's preferences"
