Bloove is a Web-based mobile phone management system which lets you edit your contacts and work with your SMS or bookmarks using your web browser.  You can backup, restore and copy SMS and contacts between different phones. Bloove works on over 300+ Windows Mobile, Nokia, Sony Ericsson or Samsung smartphones.  And of course there basic features are free for as long as you want to use it, below i will list some of the features available.

They offers both free and paid usage plans, so you can chose to use what is best for you until you feel you need some of the more advanced features. With the Free version you can connect one mobile phone to you account, The contact Archive is up to 15 items and the  Message Archive can hold up to 100 items.

With the paid plan you will also have access to SMS via POP3 (Gmail, Outlook or other mail programs) and auto synchronization.

All other features are unrestricted: you can manage an unlimited number of contacts and messages on the phone, and there is no time limit – as for the basic functions, they will be free for as long as you keep the application.

Below is the price plan and features:

Contact and SMS backup + + + Contact and SMS restore - + + 1 2 Unlimited Sending SMS to groups - + + Scheduled SMS - + + Auto sync enabled - + + Max. archived contacts 15 3000 Unlimited Max. archived SMS 100 3000 Unlimited SMS via POP3 - + + Google Contacts sync - + + Price $ 0 $ 5 monthly $ 36 annually(only $3 per month, you save $24) $ 95 annually

Bloove provides read-only access to your SMS.

To setup POP3 access to your  SMS you have to enable it on SMS via POP3 tab in your Profile menu. In your mail client use mail.bloove.com as POP (Incoming) Server, provide username and password you entered on previous step, be sure to uncheck “Leave messages on server” option (messages will not be actually deleted in Bloove, required only to track if it is downloaded or not). If your mail client asks for email address, use any fictitious one like username@bloove.com – it will not be used actually, if it asks to verify address – please skip this step. If you mail client asks for SMTP (Outgoing) server – please provide any, for example smtp.googlemail.com, it will never be used.

Bloove communicates with a mobile phone via wireless data connection: GPRS, EDGE, 3G, Wi-Fi etc. So, no cable, infrared or Bluetooth hardware are needed. You will of course need to install Bloove Agent application on your phone, and there is no installation required on your desktop. You can manage your phone from anywhere, as long as you are close to a pc with internet connection!

Now how this application works is that the server will an send command to your agent, the agent on your mobile phone then initiates and send the message on your behalf. Most J2ME phones require user confirmation to send SMS. Symbian phones will store the message in Sent folder, This cant be done for J2ME due to lack of API support.

You can download the Bloove Agent from bloove.com/m and install it on your mobile device, click here to register for the service. You can even use your OpenId to signup for the service.

Happy SMSing!
