Sync contacts to your iPhone

iPhone contact card

Wrangle your contacts onto your iPhone with Plaxo, and keep them all in sync at work and home. Plaxo will sync your data across platforms like Outlook, Google, Yahoo, Thunderbird, AIM, and Mac’s Address Book. Plaxo will even update your friend’s address book anytime your contact information changes. And this is all included in the free basic service. The premium version includes many other features such as syncing with your LinkedIn network and auto back up of your data.

Note: We know firsthand why Plaxo earned a bad rep for they way it used to send email notifications to your contacts (ahem..spam). Thankfully, they no longer do this so you might want to give them a try. Their syncing technology is top notch.

  1. Great, but is a simple http://m.plaxo.com or a REAL sync with the Address/book & Calendar of the iPhone
    Thanks 4 your answer

  2. Olivier,

    It doesn’t sync directly to your native iPhone address book or calendar. It syncs via your Mac. The real advantage of this mobile version is that the interface makes it quick and easy to lookup your addresses through th browser on the go.
