ZYB was not, I assure you, the first word that came to mind when I thought (or, more accurately, if I had thought) “What is the best thing I can offer Heck Of A Guy blog readers this fine Friday morn?” Eternal salvation and life everlasting might have been in the running. The secret to deep, passionate love could have been a contender. Maybe, I would have opted to describe the details of Creating wealth beyond ones dreams.
ZYB is much, much cooler than that stuff.
ZYB, you see, is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” sort of services. If you own one of the 200 or so mobile phones that work with ZYB,1 you can backup your mobile’s contacts and calendar. This requires no cables or special equipment; you receive and send data the same way you use your phone to download a ringtone or go on the net.
At that moment, your life becomes instantly better, just knowing you’re protected. Lost your phone? That sucks, but at least you won’t lose any phone numbers. You won’t even have to re-enter them by hand. You’ve got ZYB. Got a new phone? That’s great, and you don’t have to re-enter all those phone numbers or fork over $10 to Verizon to do it for you. ZYB just saved you $10 or an hour of frustration.
And you were going to settle for eternal salvation.
In addition, once you are ZYB-enabled, you can use it to:
- Manage your contacts and calendar online
- Import public calendars to your phone
- Share contacts and calendar with others
- Synchronize the data on your phone with your iPod, Outlook, and other applications
- Merge duplicate entries to tidy up and oranize your contacts
And the price is right – it’s free.2
Sign up at ZYB.
Credit Due Department: I’m certain this is showing up all over the net by now, but I first saw this cool tool at – where else? – Cool Tools

- OK, the web site points out that “Some special functions (that you can easily do without) cost 2-4 euros per year.” I should have written “All the basic features for securing, manage and share your mobile are free.” Big deal. [↩]
