I am horrible on what to use for a hobby phone.
Any suggestions?
I'm nearing my one year anniversary and I still feel like such a newbie.
I used the text app but have lost contacts through that as well.
This hobby phone has worked out well but only because I've taken care of it.
But as of yesterday ... not so much.
I'm pretty organized, there's just too much to know with technology.
I'm such a bad millennial.
I should've been born in the X generation

- Sync your phone with your Google Contacts. You can find instructions here.
- You can also sign up for a Google Voice number using your hobby Gmail account and use the Hangouts app for text/voice.
In the event that your phone is lost, stolen, damaged, etc, you can just sync your new phone with your Gmail account and all your contacts will be there. If you are using Google Voice, you can even text through the Gmail website. Gmail also has a calendar feature if you want to keep track of all your appointments which can also be
synced to your phone.
If you need any additional help, feel free to PM me.
