I think the only way we could have got back all the phone data would have been if we had some kind of backup. I have read about many mobile backup systems, but havent tried them since i donot have internet on my mobile. Any suggestions on whether to go for such stuff.</p> <p>Raj</p> Swaroop,

In case of emergencies, there's always the good old landline, and as for my geek friends, they are using IM to get in touch me. Do post the results of your experiment.</p> I have been keeping my cell (mostly) switched off for the last 2 weeks, and it seems to work for me.
