Yep. It is basically only good for reducing long distance charges (be careful about their scam, it may not save you *anything*, i.e., it might say in the fine print that the rate goes up to $10/min after the call exceeds 5 minutes). It is *NOT VOIP* -- just because THEY use some form of VOIP

The correct way to restore the backup is by using fastboot. i.e. put your phone into fastboot mode and run fastboot flash userdata data.img from your computer. It does work, 100% without exception. Especially if you verify the correctness of the backup by unyaffs'ing it before you actually *need*
