Sync and Connect and iPhone

[parkernathan]

I went ahead and signed up for the free Sync and Connect since I like how I can more easily text from the web using My Verizon. However, I was wondering, now that I'm on Sync and Connect, do I still have to run VZ Contact Transfer on my iPhone once a month to backup my contacts to Sync and Connect/Backup Assistant, or will they remain on my account now that I'm a Sync and Connect subscriber?

Thanks!

Customers who set up email on their Sync & Connect capable device are able to view their device contacts via the Sync &Connect website you, will no longer be able to use the Backup Assistant website.

But does this mean I have to manually backup my iPhone contacts once a month, or are they retained now that I'm on Sync and Connect?

You will still need to use the VZContact Transfer on the iPhone 4. 

Thank you,
