Share your data between mobile devices and your computer
You can synchronise information held on your PC with most phones. Manufacturers almost always provide software that can update the phone with contacts and appointments.
This also provides a handy way of backing up your phone address book. Sometimes the software will even let you write text messages on the computer, which is much more comfortable than using the keypad.
The only snag can be connecting the phone to the computer asUSBcable adapters are not always supplied, especially with cheaper phones. I useBluetoothinstead because it is more versatile.
