It seems that nearly everyone has a smartphone, either Android or iPhone, but in my experience, very few people use the "smart" part of their phone. I am constantly seeing people post on Facebook that they lost their phone and to send them a message to add your number back and I've had enough.
So here's the tip: Use your Google account for backing up your phone.
When you activate your Android phone you are required to sign in or create a gmail account, there's also a step that asks if you want to back up your data to Google's server, select YES! If you selected NO at the setup, you can always change it by going to Settings/Backup & Reset and selecting 'Back up my data'.
Then make sure you have your phone synced (this can be turned on is Settings/Accounts & Sync).
The next step is to take some time and put contacts into your account by either your phone or on your computer via your Gmail account.
Another thing that really sucks to lose on your phone if it gets lost or stolen is pictures. Most of us capture some of those precious moments on our phone cause its always with us. Don't lose those precious moments any more.
Here's how: since you have a Gmail account, you can activate Google+ and can have Instant Upload of the pictures you take. Cool thing is that you have unlimited amount of uploads.
Step 1: Activate Google+ on your Gmail.
Step 2: Install Google+ app on your phone.
Step 3: Go to settings in the app and enable 'Instand Upload'
Step 4: If you've already taken a bunch of pictures, you can go to settings/Instand Upload/Upload All.
Step 5: Take lots of pics and never worry about losing them again.
All-in-all, don't be a worry-body about losing your precious contacts and photos, and don't be one of THOSE people who are asking for people's number on Facebook (unless you didn't have a smartphone of course).
Hope this helps!
