Back up your stored numbers by simply composing an sms and sending to xxx. The sms must be in the format: name   number   name   number   name.... Type a name, then space then a number to store. That completes one record. To make another record leave a space then type a name then space and then a number. Here is an example.

An sms to store one number belonging to Wale should look like this:

Wale    08029999999

This sms should be sent to xxx.

An sms to store three numbers belonging to Wale, Halimah and Emeka should look like this:

Wale   08029999999   Halimah    08028888888    Emeka    08027777777

An sms can take 165 characters. That translates to approximately 10 GSM entries. With some management, maybe more.

To register and enlist is simple. just compose your messages and send to xxx. On receiving your first messages our application automatically creates a profile for you and creates your store. You are sent a welcome message telling you to go to the online phonestore to "activate" your profile. The acknowledgement you will receive will also contain your PIN, a four-digit number. This is your password to get to your records via our web portal. Your username is your GSM phone number with which you have sent the sms.

If your are logging in for the first time, you are prompted to change your PIN for security reasons. Please provide the old PIN which is that which you are given in the acknowledgement sms. Then provide a new PIN (with which future logins will be made). You will also have to re-enter the new PIN.

Once logged in, you can view your stored contact details and even edit them if you wish. You may also delete some records if they become obsolete.

You may be prompted to register and be listed in the public phone directory. Accepting to register means that you have accepted to have your contact details made public. Anyone the world over can search the phone directory for your contact details. Information we require of you fall into two categories. One category is information to identify you for security reasons in case you forget your PIN. The other category is your contact details and this will be exposed to the public. Contact details will include details to contact you electronically and by telephone. These include email addresses, website addresses and telephone numbers. You can provide only as much contact information as you want to provide. Your information is kept secure and private as stated in our Terms of Service

Once registered, you have automatically included your details in the public phone directory. You can visit this directory to search for registered individual contacts as well as companies. You can start by searching for yorself.

To search for a contact, you need to supply AT LEAST one piece of information relating to the contact.

For registered members, there are a host of other services already available. More on the way.
