Carbonite sells SMS Backup & Restore to SyncTech

If you constantly switch devices, you might be familiar with SMS Backup & Restore. The app was bought by Carbonite last year and now it’s switching hands again to go to Australian company SyncTech. As its name suggests, it easily backs up and restores your SMS, MMS, and call log. At the moment, the app is still listed on Carbonite’s site as one of their products but with the holiday weekend we aren’t surprised that hasn’t been updated yet. We got the news from the update of the app on the Play Store where SyncTech announced plans to have an opt-out option for advertisements as well as updated contact/support details. No other news about what the company has planned for the app though.
