Just Google MicroSD card. Get a branded one like Samsung or Sandisk as they're reliable. Get as big as you can afford, you can find 64GB for £15 or so on some websites. |

most phones (except iphones, where to upgrade the storage you buy a new phone) use the micro sd format, but check your manual or look on-line, then take your pick from the thousands of cards available |

Take it to the store that is your service provider. Buy one, ask them to fit it. Problem solved. By sandisk or similar. Biggest memory u can afford if u have a lot of apps, pics, and vids. |

SD is the type of card (secure digital), micro is the physical size of it.
You only need to know what size card your phone takes and buy whatever size of memory you want. The higher the numer, in gb, kb or mb, the more storage there is in it's memory. |

If you go to Amazon, paste this into the search "Samsung Memory 64 GB Evo MicroSDXC UHS-I Grade 1 Class 10 Memory Card with SD Adapter".
It'll fit your phone and it's good value. |

"Phones have micro SD cards, you can triple your memory with them.
Any phone shop will sell them. Or ebay  "
Yeah, if you want to connect an external adaptor to the Lightning port = neat solution - not!  |

"Check that your phone will take a 64g card, some won't recognise anything bigger than 32..."
I fully agree. Some phones are limited to the maximum capacity card that can be used. I thin micro SDXC are faster than some other formats like SDHC. |

Personally, I always go for the biggest amount of storage space my phone will accept, mainly because I download loads and loads of podcasts, programs and keep my phone backed up regularly on the SD card.
You can never have to much memory space, and apps can eat it up quicker than you'd think. |

a quandary, could you change my mind? |
I've been looking at this today
And it's not just the cards memory size you want to look at, it's also how quickly it can allow information to be stored to it and read back.
(I think most important is the speed information is stored, otherwise it will slow down say the speed you can take pics or video quality)
UHS-I Grade 1 Class 10 Memory Card
Argos do sell them, jessops, prices vary alot, but look at like for like not just the memory size.. (it's not just the size that matters  ) |

I have a iPhone 6 Plus
I back up my photos to Flickr automatically
My files are kept in Microsoft cloud
Music kept in iCloud
No need for extra storage and no need to worry if I lose the phone losing all my pictures etc |

Never found that to be much of an issue with android to be honest. Generally the read write speeds as set by the stock ROM are lower and thats usually the cause for any delays. |
