I’ve been running Ubuntu for quite many days. But I always regret that I couldn’t use PC Suite in it. Though Ubuntu can connect to internet with phone’s Bluetooth or cable connection without requiring PC Suite, I primarily use PC Suite to backup my phone data like Contacts and Messages. But accidentally I found a hidden gem in the repositories that enables me to do it. The tool is “Wammu”, which is a GUI frontend to “Gammu”.
To install Wammu, open terminal and type,
It wll now be installed under “Menu>Accessories”
When you first start Wammu, it will prompt you to configure your phone. With the wizard, you can configure your phone in few easy steps.
It also has three Configure Styles to suite your needs.
You can connect your phone both via cable, bluetooth or infrared port too!
It detected and connected to our phone successfully in our test.
After configuring your phone, you can connect it from “Phone>Connect”.
After the phone is connected, you can easily read, write, backup, restore your messages, contacts, calendar and more.
So did you know about it? Or you know about any better alternative? Please let us know.
