Even without a Desktop internet connection, you can always do a back up from your phone, assuming you've already setup and done an initial backup on the web.

How to do it
- Just go to your phone application and startup MTN Services.
- Select on Backup
- Follow the process to completion

Your phone will by synchronized with your online backup account and you will have the same details in both.

What's a synchronization
A sync is a process whereby the same information is updated in different places with the latest updates. So if your phone was out of date, your online backup account will update it and vice versa if your backup account is out of date.

How much does it cost?
According to MTN Nigeria, the initial setup costs more than subsequent backup sessions. Initial backup setup costs about N100 while subsequently, it would cost N50 per session.

What you will need?
- A mobile internet capable phone
- MTN Backup capable sim
- An online backup account

If you do don't have an MTN online backup account yet, you can go to http://www.mtnonline.com/products-services/value-added-services/mtn-backup and set up one for free.

My phone could not be switched on any more. I was told that the phone must be flashed for it to work again. The implication is that all my contact data will be lost. I have mtn backup but do not know how to recover my contact.
