IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

California based PocketMac today announces RecoverMySmartphone, a new service that helps smartphone users save their digital life. Until now, when a smart phone was dropped in the toilet or otherwise damaged the only option was to throw it away, and all the data with it. RecoverMySmartphone recovers that data from damaged smartphones and makes it possible to transfer it to new ones. Over 500 makes and models of phone are supported.

 

San Diego, CA - PocketMac, the originators of several groundbreaking smartphone software tools, announces a new service that helps smartphone users save their digital life. Until now, when a smart phone was dropped in the toilet or otherwise damaged the only option was to throw it away - and all the data with it.

 

However, PocketMac's new service, RecoverMySmartphone, recovers that data from damaged smartphones and makes it possible to transfer it to new ones. This means saving countless hours reconstructing this information. Specifically, the service will rescue the following types of data from smartphones:

 

* Contacts

* Photos

* Calendars

* Text Messages

* Email Messages

* Music

* Software

* Notes

* And More...

 

"We've spent over 8 years and 32,000 man-hours dissecting smartphones to see how they work," said Tim Goggin, VP Of Sales & Marketing. "We're now applying that wealth of knowledge to salvage the data from users' smartphones. Before RecoverMySmartphone, every time a phone was dropped into water or was smashed on the floor, the data was likely lost forever."

 

Damaged smartphones are a much larger problem that is generally assumed. According to Gizmodo, 855,000 mobile phones are dropped in the toilet every year in the UK alone. That's one and a half percent of their population that either accidentally flushes or otherwise damages their phone. Additionally, Gizmodo says, 58,500 UK phones are damaged by dogs every year. And that's not to mention the 116,000 phones damaged in the laundry.

 

The numbers grow even bigger when you consider that the United States has a population 5 times greater than the UK. This translates to over 4,275,000 US phones damaged in the toilet, 292,500 US phones damaged by dogs and 580,000 phones damaged in the laundry. This is what prompted PocketMac to create this new service.

 

This service works very simply. Users with broken or malfunctioning phones ship their devices to RecoverMySmartphone's lab. Within 5-7 business days, as long as the device powers up, the user's phone and the recovered data will be shipped back to them. Alternatively, RecoverMySmartphone's lab can clone the data to a new phone. Over 500 makes and models of phone are supported.

 

Goggin continued, "Most of us don't have even one phone number memorized anymore. RecoverMySmartphone rescues your life from your damaged phone."

 

The service supports salvaging the data from the following smartphones and PDAs:

* BlackBerrys

* Handspring PDAs

* iPhones

* iPods

* Motorola Phones

* Nokia

* Palm Phones and PDAs

* Panasonic Phones and PDAs

* Sendo Phones

* Siemens Phones

* Sony Ericsson Phones

* Windows Mobile Phones

 

While certain consultants can charge as much as $1900.00 for this type of data recovery, RecoverMySmartphone's rates are structured to be more reasonable:

 

Pricing and Availability:

Simple data recovery is a flat, introductory rate of $199.97 (USD) while cloning data from a broken device to a new one is a flat rate of $249.97. Return shipment is included in the cost of the service. Rush service can be added for $50.00 flat. Recovered data can be used on either a Windows-based PC or Macintosh.
