HOW GMAIL ACCOUNT AND MOBILE PHONES SYNCHRONIZATION HELPS TO KEEP YOUR CONTACTS WITHIN YOUR NETWORK
Gmail is an email handling system, an extension of Google services. As a service rendering firm, Gmail allows you to create an email account with your details for the purpose of sending and receiving emails.
It is a service that has suddenly dominated most of the email account handling firms that had been existing before it came into existence a few years ago.
Google as the owner of Gmail made it possible for its users to go wide and sudden became popular such that the number of Gmail account owners are adding in millions annually. How did google achieved that within a short time?
There is an arrangement in using a Gmail account such that once you have one, you can you it to access all the Google’s services including the Google social media network called “Google-Plus”.
Google plus users had been increasing alongside the number of Gmail accounts because they were synchronized together. Currently, you can enjoy all the Google services with just a single email account you can create, an idea that had reduced the stress of logging in and out often within their services.
Besides the above benefit, Gmail account has mobile device accessibility especially in androids that enable every mobile phone user to synchronize their Gmail account with their Phone. The synchronization will enable the user to select all the mobile phone numbers in their phone contact and move them to their Gmail account where it will be saved permanently, any loss of the phone or its SIM card will have no effect to the contacts saved in the Gmail account.
Also, the mobile phone users have the advantage of saving new phone numbers or email addresses directly into their Gmail account without opening Gmail. The evidence of this can be seen while using the Gionee P2 Android phone to save contacts.
When you type in any new mobile number in such android phone and click the save contact button, it will pop up three options where you want the contact to be saved. Among the options that will pop up, the Gmail account is mostly located at the middle. When you click the Gmail account option the contact will be saved into your Google Gmail account directly instead of your phone and the good thing is that the same contact will appear in your phone contact list as though it is inside the phone when searching for it.
