My new phone doesn't support multiple numbers per name like my old phone does. Will I lose numbers? How does Backup-Pal handle this?
Last Updated 2/5/2008

Due to the immense amount of work and ingenuity that has been built into Backup-Pal, these types of transfers are handled quickly, efficiently and automatically. Below is an example of how Backup-Pal will handle this situation depending on your phone type:

Phone #1 supports multiple numbers per name like so:

Name:Superman
Cell: 555-555-1111
Home: 555-555-2222
Work: 555-555-3333

Phone #2 Supports one number per unique name.
In this case, Backup-Pal works a little magic to make sure all the numbers are saved properly by creating some new names:

Name:Superman
Cell: 555-555-1111
Name:Superman1
Home: 555-555-2222
Name:Superman2
Work: 555-555-3333

Phone #3 supports the same name multiple times
Backup-Pal lists the name multiple times in a row with each number:

Name:Superman
Cell: 555-555-1111
Name:Superman
Home: 555-555-2222
Name:Superman
Work: 555-555-3333

No matter which phone you come from or the compatible phone you're transferring to, Backup-Pal already knows the optimum processes for handling the safety and security of your data.
