Synchronising information back from O2 Bluebook to your mobile phone. It can't always be done - or can it?

So here's the problem. You synchronised your O2 mobile phone to Bluebook and all your contacts, message and images are on the website. For whatever reason (e.g. you have been sent a new phone as your old one imploded) you now need to synchronise your contacts and other information BACK to your new phone.

If you have experienced the same is me, you'll know it doesn't work - O2 Bluebook just doesn't work as it should. Yet.

Well do not fear! Here are some instructions on how to set this up so that it works and synchronises for you, manually.

1. Make sure your new phone is WAP enabled. To do this, text "Active" (without the quotation marks) to 2020 on log on to O2's website.

2. Now as all phones are different, find the synchronise option within your phone. You'll probably have to set up a new service - call it "Bluebook".

3. You need to use http://o2contacts.o2.co.uk/syncml for the server address

4. You need to use ./pab for the database address

5. Use GPRS or GSM for the O2 connection

6. Use your username and password which you use to log into the O2 website in the necessary fields

7. Chose what you want to synchronise.

8. Now synchronise. You should find it works a treat.
