Accessorize: Functional Cell Phone Add-on’s

So you’ve got the most up to date phone on the market with the cool slide features, video capabilities, 100 percent fool-proof signal strength, and countless music and game features to last a 13 hour flight from San Diego to Korea.

Yet, something is missing … one could always use a bit extra to make their phones better. Let us consider two of the top phone model companies in San Diego: T-Mobile and Cricket Wireless. Both offer different plans, but one can agree that their accessory choices are vast and ready to outfit any cell phone for functionality for today’s jet setting professional. Afterall, you don’t want to get caught in the car without a law-abiding hands-free headset, or without extra memory while filming that classic bar fight video on a Friday night. So preparation is key.

The Samsung WEP 490 Bluetooth headset at T-Mobile is the perfect way to avoid getting pulled over on the road. Featuring six hours of talk time availability, this little black device fits comfortably over the ear and can be activated just by the touch of a button. Plus it is easily affordable at just $39.99.

There’s no need to hold a bulky phone to the ear or stumble over headphone wires, and after a while it will feel like just another extension of yourself. Just be sure to keep your eyes on the road.

Another great addition that T-Mobile offers on most of its phones is extra memory cards. There will come a point after numerous photos and video shots taken that the phone’s original space will become full. Rather than delete these memorable moments, why not extend your memory life, like you would a computer.

Now you can save all those photos from the past and not feel any rush to email them to a computer and deal with the complications of downloading them. These little chips range in price, but the most affordable one is a 2 GB and can hold up to 250 photos and videos for the measly cost of $19.99. Plus, these storage devices also store music for those that own phones that double as a MP3 player along with a regular phone.

Since Cricket Wireless is associated with the Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre, expect some sort of musical aspect with almost every phone. Therefore, patrons should get the most of their music and calling experience with some of the best equipment to grant superior sound quality when you’re ready to rock out.

For the musical experience, Cricket carries numerous top-of-the-line headphones to offer the best sound quality options. However, though one could argue they could just connect any headphone jack, there are a few that add special additions just for cell phones.

The Universal 3.5 mm Buds serve as snug earphones with a sleek black modern update. While they may not look as cool as the bulky, Bedazzled earbuds out there, they offer superior sound output and can be switched from music to phone mode at the flick of a tuner switch that hangs from the neck wire. Now the music loving professional can always stay in-tune and on conference calls.
