Cell phone got washed with your jeans? Well, your ringtone's safe

A lucrative business has emerged around helping people preserve what's on their phones, reports AP reports. "The Carriers charge fees to back up address books, and hardware- and software-makers peddle products that can pull the data off your phone. Meanwhile, to replace ringtones or games, you often have to buy the application all over again.

But ringtone and game peddler Oasys Mobile is bucking the trend by allowing customers to download applications they've purchased again and again from an online "virtual locker."

Customers can store contact information, photos and other data in their online account and download it to a new phone as many times as they want as long as they keep the same number."
