Cellebrite, a provider of cell phone synchronization and management systems, has announced a contract to provide UME-36 devices to Telefónica O2 Germany, a provider of mobile telecom products and solutions. In O2 shops throughout Germany, customers can now transfer their telephone content automatically from one mobile to another in a mere few minutes with Cellebrite's UME-36. From April, the new service was available free of charge to all O2 subscribers in around 1000 retail outlets throughout Germany.
Cellebrites UME-36 is a stand-alone phone memory transfer and backup solution that transfers all forms of content, including pictures, videos, ringtones and SMS, as well as phonebook contacts data between a wide range of mobile phones, smart phones and PDAs. With the UME-36, O2 can ensure that their subscriber's content is protected, in addition to simplifying the process of upgrading or exchanging phones with the instantaneous transfer of content.
O2 has named this service O2 My Contacts, which is aimed at anyone who doesn't have the time or inclination to deal with manually transferring their mobile phone data and wants to ensure its protection. "We are delighted about Telefónica O2 Germany's decision to offer customers this outstanding service, and in doing so, trusting our industry leading expertise", explains Managing Director of Cellebrite GmbH, Bernhard Pawlak. The service will also be available for non-O2 customers for a nominal fee.
"Everyone looks forward to getting a new mobile phone, if it weren't for the tiresome process of typing in numbers", says Thorsten Haeser, Vice President of Sales at Telefónica O2 Germany. "With O2 My Contacts, our customers no longer need to think about it at all, since the data transfer takes place immediately in the shop".
With O2 My Contacts, Telefónica O2 Germany is the first telecommunications provider in Germany to offer free data synchronisation for customers in its shops. Cellebrite's Co-CEO, Yossi Carmil said, "We are extremely proud to be able to bring this technology to Germany, pioneering this service in the country."
