Due to the growth of Smartphone, maintaining contacts has become a tedious process. It was SIM Card memory that people used the most to store their Phonebook Contacts, and then Mobile phones started to have some good amount of memory capacity that allowed us to store even more contacts. Later email id’s were added to the list and become an important part of the contacts. After the concept of Social networking came into existence, people started adding their friend’s social profile ids in their contact. This has made a contact detail to be more complex than before. So today contacts have a minimum of five to six fields of user information.
If you are buying a new mobile phone, the first thing you do is copy the contacts from the existing ones to your mobile phone. It is impossible to type all the contacts in your mobile phone. Also it is very difficult to move your existing contacts if you didn’t understand the process correctly because the procedure differs between each mobile phones to move the contacts. 
For iOS users, the process becomes very simple after Apple came with a concept called iCloud. Using iCloud users can easily sync their contacts, notes, etc., between their iOS and Mac devices. For webmasters and bloggers, Facebook and Twitter has become a very important platform to get ideas and share their works. So Twitter and Facebook contacts have become an important part of their business. It is very difficult for them maintain everything on their Smartphone.
