Phones are getting smarter, but so are the accessories. From mobile charging to hands-free listening, cell phone accessories are making it easier than ever to stay connected whenever and wherever you need. Whether you’re looking for the basics or you want to get your hands on the latest technology, here are some must-have cell phone accessories to go with your SIMPLE Mobile phone.

Charging accessories

Phone chargers are quite literally a must-have accessory. Even though the latest smartphones are designed to have a long-lasting battery life, you’ll likely need to charge your phone at least once a day. To make sure you’re never caught running on 2% battery, be prepared with multiple cables. Keep a cell phone charger in the glove box of your car to use while on the go, one at work, and one at home. If you know you’re going to be out all day, it’s also a good idea to keep a portable power bank on you. That way, you can easily charge up the battery – no outlet needed.

Phone headphones

If you want to listen to your favorite playlist, podcast, or audiobook, or if you want to catch up on an episode of your current Netflix binge, then you’ll need a good pair of headphones. Many people are switching to wireless Bluetooth headphones to enjoy more freedom while out and about. For instance, you can exercise and listen to music with ease, as there’s no cord standing in your way.

Phone Cases

Be honest – how many times have you accidentally dropped your cell phone on the ground? It happens. Just make sure your phone is protected when it does with a screen protector and a case that fits well. The last thing you want is for the glass to crack or the phone to break. Plus, you can even have fun with it by searching for cases with colors, patterns, and graphics that show off your own personal style.

Cell phone speakers

Thanks to Bluetooth technology, it’s easy to stream music from your phone to a speaker. A speaker can boost the sound quality and the volume, making your favorite songs sound even better. Not only that, but most of them are portable. So for all those times when you’re not in the car passing the aux cord or using your headphones, a speaker is a must.

Accessorize your phone

Cell phone accessories offer very practical ways to help simplify your day-to-day life.

While some phone accessories are just for decoration, others offer very practical ways to help simplify your day-to-day life. When you choose AK Discount, you get access to many different 30-day service plans with nationwide coverage. That means you get to enjoy more speed and more data – for less.

Too many selfies taking up precious space on your phone? How about work files, homework, or videos? If your memory isn’t full yet, at this rate, it probably won’t be long before it is. Modern devices have lots of built-in storage, but unfortunately, there is a limit to the amount they can hold. Luckily, there are many Cloud-based storage solutions available that you can use with your AK Discount Mobile phone, which means you can stop sacrificing your photos to the trash bin.

About Cloud storage

Cloud storage makes your files accessible anywhere, anytime.

Cloud storage allows you to save your photos and documents to the Internet instead of to your actual device. It offers a secure way to back up the files you still want to hang on to, especially ones that you may not necessarily need or use right now. For example, if you have pictures, videos, memes, and screenshots hogging your phone’s memory, you can simply transfer those files over to the Cloud as needed. Plus, not only does Cloud storage allow you to take, save, and share as many photos as you want, but it also makes them accessible just about anywhere, anytime.

Best online storage

So, how can you start using the Cloud? Chances are that your phone already comes with a Cloud service and you may not even realize it. But if not, you can always download an app. Some of the most popular options include:

• iCloud – If you have an iPhone, you can use iCloud to backup your photos, documents, contacts, calendar, and more. It comes with 5GB of free storage, but if you need more, you can always upgrade your storage plan.
• Google Drive – With the Google Drive app, you can easily store and edit files. It’s not just helpful for storing your own photos and documents, but for sharing them with friends, family, and colleagues, too. For example, you can type up reports and spreadsheets, and then share them with coworkers for collaboration – all through this free Cloud storage service.
• Dropbox – Another great way to save files and collaborate on them is with Dropbox. It comes in handy not just for personal storage, but for work, too, because it keeps everything you need in one place.
• MEGA – Another popular online data storage solution is MEGA. You can download the MEGA app on your phone from Google Play or the App Store, and start uploading files to the Cloud right away. It offers up to 50GB of free storage.

While those apps might be some of the most well-known, that’s certainly not all of them. There are many Cloud-based solutions available to help you streamline your work and personal life. Once you find one that fits your needs, you’ll be able to manage your files hassle-free.
