Backup Items on Your Old Phone

From photos and videos to all your contacts, there is a lot of important data stored on your old phone. Losing photos of memorable moments in your life or your friend’s phone numbers is never a pleasant experience. Be sure to backup your data first. Then transfer that info to your new purchase.

Get Ready to Enter Your Passwords

You’re probably accustomed to easily accessing things like email and your favorite apps. Just remember that you will need all your passwords to get back into your accounts. It can be a pain to remember every password, but be ready to do so to get back into your usual flow.

Protect Your Phone

If your phone is lost or stolen, the last thing you want is for someone else to access your personal information. Be sure to add a unique password to protect your device. On many new phones, you can even unlock your phone with a fingerprint scanner.

Download Your Favorite Apps

Some apps may not have transferred over to your new device. Be sure to check to make sure your most used apps like email, social media, maps, and music apps are present. Download any new apps you want to use. Of course, if you haven’t already downloaded the Mobile Styles app, get on that ASAP for on-demand beauty services at your fingertips.

Examine Your New Phone

Before you leave the store with your new phone, take a good look at the phone. Examine it to confirm all parts that are supposed to come with your purchase are in the box. Turn on your phone to be certain it works properly, and check that it doesn’t have any cracks or scratches.

Purchase Accessories

When you get your new phone, stock up on the accessories you need. Maybe you want a new phone case to protect your device. You also may want to get a screen protector for that extra level of shielding when you drop your phone.
