Users can transfer all necessary content (contacts, SMS, photos, downloads, applications) from phone to phone, SIM-card to SIM-card; SIM-card to the phone and from phone to SIM- card. In addition to data transfer, customers can also backup and restore data to and from a USB-drive.
Alon Klomek, Cellebrite's Vice President, International Sales, commented: "Cellebrite is pleased to provide its solutions to enable Beeline to pioneer, in Russia, the concept of employing such technology for truly enhancing the customer experience for the Russian mobile phone consumer, giving the retail chain an important competitive advantage in the dynamic Russian marketplace."
"We understand how important it is to quickly save or copy all the data in your phone, and are pleased to provide our customers and subscribers of other operators such an opportunity," said Timur Alyautdinov , director of development of branded retail network and mobile equipment for VimpelCom.
Mikhail Slobodin, CEO of Vimpelcom Russia, also commented on the new Beeline service in his personal blog:
"We all remember how we suffered with the transfer of information from one phone to another. Now, we can offer data transfer through a very convenient device for transferring and backing up all the most important data stored on your phone…from a flash card, phone-to- phone, SIM card to SIM card, or SIM card to phone. There are many variations. It's not a dream – it's just convenient…and of course for you, our customers."
For Beeline subscribers the service was free during the initial launch, after which a service charge is now rendered.
