The problem appears when the cellular phone’s contacts list is lost. It is quite difficult and needs more time to restore. Back-up and synchronizing contact may overcome this problem. In this paper, the discussion covers back-up and synchronizing contacts which is performed by an application together with a server and Internet connection. A cellular phone user must connect to an account in a specific website and install application on the cellular phone. Then the users may use the features provided by application which builds on Java ME. First, the application retrieves all the contacts list from the database and enable the users to mark the data before the backup process performed. After the application downloads the contacts data from the server, synchronizing process is performed. The result of the experiments shows that this application works on Nokia feature phones with operating system S40 6th Edition and S60, also on Sony Ericsson with Java Platform 8 and latest. This application works well when supported by the availability and stability of Internet connection with compatible cellular phone specification.
