Until someone fails to make a backup and the disk crashes. It has
happened, and recently. I don't think it was VZW but it could be next

proved to be about as permanent as "sky writing"!

I have my contacts in my phone, in my computer, and on paper. With a
little bit of luck that should be sufficient.
