SonyEricsson cellphone setup

First you have to synchronize the SonyEricsson with PhoneCopy, so that you could backup your data into cloud. First step is to set up the synchronization on the SonyEricsson. For better illustration, we've made some screenshots, but experienced users naturally won't need and will be able to set up the phone on their own, or following the user manual here. In that case, please scroll down to the end of the article, where we are describing the way to transfer the contacts into the iPhone. But back to the screenshots now: create a new synchronization profile in the menu:

Select Conectivity Select Synchronization Select Yes Type Phonecopy

Follow the instructions to set up the connection. If you're only transferring contacts, you can leave out some of the steps, or you can backup you calendar, tasks and notes as well.

Type http://www.phonecopy.com/sync into the server address field Type in your username into the server username field Type in your password into the server password field  Select Connection and choose your service provider

Skip the Remote initiation field Select Applications Check all the items you want to synchronize Select App Settings

Choose Phonebook Type in phonebook Choose Appointments Type in appointments

Choose Tasks Type in tasks Choose Notes Type in notes

Start the synchronization now.

Start the synchronization

After your phone is synchronized, go back to your PhoneCopy online profile (probably you will have it still open in the browser since you activated your account) and accept the assignment of your phone to the profile. If you do it within an hour after the synchronization, the phone will be assigned automatically and you will only need to confirm the process. If the delay is greater than one hour, you will be asked by the server for the cellphone's identification number, called IMEI. This number can be easily found under the battery of the cellphone, or you can type in the symbols *#06# and the IMEI will appear on the display.
