    I need more 16GB on my phone

    • Ashley at Consumer Cellular says

      Thanks for posting, Gerald! If you find that you’re running out of room on your smartphone, there are a few options you can try. First, try using a cloud storage app such as Google Photos or iCloud to remove photos and videos from your phone, which require a lot of space. If you have an Android device, you can also see if adding a micro-SD card would be a good option. If you have any questions about either of these options, please call us at 888-345-5509 and we can discuss them with you. We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us today!
