How it works
CompanionLink will sync your Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010 Business
Contact Manager data to your phone or to your regular Outlook folders.
When set up to sync with your phone, you can choose either wired sync
(using a USB cable) or wireless sync.
CompanionLink Express has all the basic features for two-way sync.
CompanionLink Pro includes additional options such as an Auto Sync Timer
and the ability to sync wirelessly using CompanionLink's secure
wireless sync subscription (for BCM users without a Microsoft Exchange
or BlackBerry Enterprise Server).
Wired (USB) sync with phones
If you choose to sync using the wired (USB) method, simply configure
CompanionLink and dock your phone to your PC using a USB cable.
Your BCM data will sync with your phone.
Wireless sync
You have two options for wireless sync:
Option 1: Wireless sync subscription by CompanionLink ($9.95/month)
CompanionLink provides a wireless sync service between Outlook BCM and
your phone. Users who don't have an existing wireless sync system
through Exchange or BlackBerry Enterprise Server can use this option to
get similar functionality. You can activate the service directly in the
CompanionLink Pro configuration settings.
Option 2: Wireless sync service using Google Sync
Google offers a free over-the-air sync solution called Google Sync. This
service works with iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Symbian
devices. Google also natively syncs with Android-based devices and Palm
webOS devices. The service syncs contacts and calendar between your
Google account and your phone. You'll need a Google account. (Don't have
one? Visit this page to learn how to set one up for free.) You'll also need to set up Google Sync with your phone.
