Easy Cellphone Customization Ideas

By Russ Black

If you are looking for some quick and easy ways to customize your cellphone, there are a ton of different accessories and features you can get to add both personality and fun to your mobile handset. Today I'm just going to talk about three things that you can accessorize your phone with which will create a custom phone that says "you".

The first way you can customize your phone is by using ringtones. Yes I know, this is not a revolutionary customization idea. But it is often the oldest and most well know methods that are overlooked. Maybe all you need is to revisit the list of built-in ringtones and choose one that suits you better. Or better yet, find a site that lets you download a package of 10 or 20 ringtones, or get a subscription which lets you pick new ringtones each month.

Idea number two is more about the personality that you project just to the people that call you, rather than coming right from your cellphone for you and people around you to hear. What I mean is the ringtone's little brother, the ringback tone. This lets you set up music or sound clips to play for people calling you, as they wait for you to pickup. Instead of just hearing the standard ring beeps, they could be introduced to the latest club tune that you just have to share, or maybe you'd like to play some actual live elevator music just to amuse your friends.

My last way to customize your phone is one that I personally use to it's fullest extent. I don't just have one case for my cellphone, I pick up different cases and faceplates for my phone anytime I see versions that fit my phone on clearance. Especially if you have an older model of phone, you can pick up a lot of different cellphone cases super cheap. If you want to dress up your phone to match your event, you can make your statement by outfitting your cellphone in anything from classy patent leather, to your favorite hockey team, to a glow in the dark polka dot cellphone skin. On top of adding personality to your phone, the other benefits to using a unique case are never mixing it up with your friends cellphones, and also the extra protection that a case affords you cellphone.

If you want more ideas and ways that you can personalize your cellphone, look no further than your nearest Future Shop or Circuit City. There is often even a bin of marked down cellphone cases which you can pick up for a few dollars each. At that price you could afford to pick up a bunch, so you can mix and match your cellphone and not only give it character, but make it part of your whole outfit, even when you outfit changes! Along with individual ringtones and ringbacks, there will be no mistaking your cellphone for anyone elses again.
