Cricket has recently begun offering its customers over-the-air backups for personal data, such as contact lists. The service, called My Backup, syncs and saves contacts to Cricket's servers automatically or whenever the customer chooses. Users will also be able to import contacts from email accounts such as Yahoo into a Web portal. It will cost $2 per month and works on more than 20 models in Cricket's lineup.
