Default Re: Backup Assistant -Text charges

That is correct. That is what Todd said as well, but if you do want to make
changes, or edit from the website, which is a hell of a lot easier than
doing it on a phone with no keyboard, it's a fifteen cent charge to download
to the phone, so, only part of the app is actually free. Bitpim is
completely free
