Lost your phone and the phone book

One day, I lost my phone.

Immediate reaction, chill. As I will get a new handset and I any why have all my numbers stored online on www.pleex.com.

Next, the sky started falling. I have lost all the numbers that were added after the backup. I have lost all me SMS messages. Next, I went online to restore my numbers. It just has 150 records. My original phone book had 1700. During the last backup, there was some problem in connectivity and the website does not store old files.

Now from where do you get all these numbers. To start with, from the phones of your wife, kid, really close friends, office colleagues, emails, and internet.

Where do you start from. Clearly not from the phone. I am trying to think of all the problems I have been through in the last 10 years of my mobile usage. Re think of the naming formats. Should I start typing all the numbers on the phone. May be not. I am going to collect all the numbers at one place in email and then find applications that can access my phone book.

Will this be the last time I am going to have a problem with my phone book. May be not. But this time I am surely not going type numbers from a paper on to my mobile.
