What if my phone isn't on the list?

Select the 'can't find my phone' option, type *#06# into your phone to find out your IMEI number, then follow the instructions on the screen (don't worry, it's safe to do this, we only need part of the number). If we are unable to identify your phone, all is not lost. If you continue to set up your account, you'll still be able to upload, save and share your photos and videos. You can also save and send text messages straight from your Mobyko account online to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dont forget to pop back next time you upgrade your phone.

I selected the wrong phone - what do I do?

No problem. You can easily update your choice of phone. Click here (sign in if prompted) to select a new phone. You will be taken through the Mobyko set up process if your phone is able to sync.

I know my phone has SyncML but it's not on the list - what do I do?

New phones are being added to Mobyko all the time, but if your phone isnt there yet please be patient. If youre sure your phone does have SyncML then you may still be able to sync with your account now.

  • First, check that your phone supports SyncML 'over the air syncing' - some phones (e.g. many Samsungs) only support SyncML over a cable between your phone and a computer.
  • If you still think your phone should work, then refer to your phone's manual to set up a 'sync profile'. Use the settings here in your sync profile (you need to have an account and be signed in to see these).
  • If this doesn't work then contact the Mobyko support team.
I have entered my IMEI but Mobyko displays the wrong phone - what should I do?

Please contact our Support Team letting us know your IMEI number and which model phone you have. We will update the site and your account as soon as possible and let you know.

Is entering *#06# into my phone safe?

Yes, this is the standard way of obtaining the IMEI from your phone without needing to take the battery out or look at the box it came in.

What is my IMEI? Why do you need it?

The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a phone's unique identifier. It is used to recognise a phone model during synchronisation. Importantly, it also allows Mobyko to correctly identify the contacts that you have sent us from your phone.
