N ew research from mobile phone-back up service provider ZYB, reveals that Britons are suffering from phone number amnesia with almost three quarters of the population (69 per cent) unable to remember even five numbers stored on their mobile phone. Mobile phones are involved in 40 per cent of robberies within the UK with a handset being stolen every 12 seconds (the equivalent of more than 2.5 million per year), however six in ten (59 per cent) do not have their mobile phone numbers backed-up in any way, whether that means writing them down, saving them to a computer or storing them online.

Back up personal information
The inability to remember numbers or back up personal information is causing millions of people the inconvenience of losing important information, including the phone numbers of friends, family and colleagues, with the average Brit storing more than 80 numbers in their phone's contact list. "One of the problems with living in such a ‘high-tech' society is that our brains become lazy," comments leading health psychologist, David Moxon. "Cognitive functions such as mathematical and memory processing are frequent casualties in the over-reliant world of calculators, computers and mobile phones."

 

Mobile phone data - Back up
The good news is that ZYB announced that it is launching its free service within the UK which allows subscribers to securely store their mobile phone data online. The service enables users to enhance the usability of their phones by allowing them to share and manage data via the internet. ZYB also provides an easy way for users to transfer data from one phone to another when they get a new handset. "The majority of us only memorise a small fraction of the numbers we store on our phone," says Tommy Ahlers, CEO and co-founder of ZYB. "With this in mind, it's no wonder people dread losing their mobile handset more than any other electronic device. ZYB puts an end to this worry".
