All MTN subscriber can backup up to 200 SIM and up to 5000 mobile phone contacts respectively, the MTN service provider also Bi-weekly(Every two weeks) automatically backs up all its subscribers contacts with the believe that an individual should have an updates to his/ her contact list at least once in two weeks, to me this is a great technology.
