SanDisk are one of the foremost suppliers of memory cards and have a wide variety of affordable options to suit any need. With so many on offer however it can be hard to select the best option for you and your phone. There's no need to spend more than necessary on tonnes of extra space, at the same time though camera phones or MP3 phones really need more than 2GB in order for you to truly get the best from them. Read the below guide then to select the best card for your phone, but remember also to check for compatibility in case your phone only takes micro cards etc.

Casual Phones - SanDisk micro SD 2GB mobile memory cards provide a very practical and affordable option for casual phone users. These cards plug directly into the phone and drastically increase the phone's storage capacity very cheaply. Two gigabytes will provide enough storage for around 200 mp3s, or 1,000 photos depending on the size of the files. For the casual phone user this will likely be all the extra space they need to get the best out of their phone without leaving their MP3 players or cameras obsolete. If you're going to be using your phone mostly ...
... as a phone with just a few added features then there's really no need to shell out for more than 2GB of storage.

Smart Phones - Smart phones are designed often for business as opposed to multi-media entertainment and so are used to carry and edit PowerPoint presentations, Word documents and memos. While none of these things take up much room necessarily, the enhanced capabilities and commonly in-built windows CE means that there's also a plethora of 3D games and applications that smart phones can run. Add to that internet browsing capabilities and Windows Media Player combined with a large, clear screen and you'll find that you end up quickly filling up the often small amount of internal memory. A memory card such as a SanDisk micro SDHC 16GB card then will enable you to utilise the extra functions of your phone without losing sight of its original purpose.

MP3 Phones - MP3 phones are designed to stop you needing to carry an MP3 player around with you on top of your phone and so keep your pockets looking flat. This means you'll want as much storage as possible in order to fit your entire collection onto your phone and rival even your iPod-wielding friends.

Camera Phones - Camera phones will certainly need a bit more than the average amount of storage, particularly if you're very snap happy. The exact amount of memory you'll need will depend on how many megapixels the camera has, but anything from a SanDisk micro SDHC 16GB to 32GB is recommended to ensure you don't miss the perfect photo-op.

Old Phones - If your phone is past its prime and you want to give it a slight upgrade you should probably opt for a slightly smaller SD card such as a SanDisk SD 1GB card. In many cases older phones don't support SDHC cards and anything higher than 1GB even can prove unstable. At the time many old phones were designed SDHC cards weren't available and larger SD cards were very expensive. It may even be safer to go for a smaller card such as a 512MB or 128MB. The good news is that these are also incredibly inexpensive
