CECT P168 Accessories – Extras That You May Need For Your IClone

Of all of the iPhone clones currently on the market today, the CECT P168 remains the most popular. For this reason, this clone has the most accessories that are readily available. When I first got the phone, I found that although people who asked to see it were intrigued by it, they assumed that it was difficult or expensive to get accessories and extras. This just isn’t the case. As this phone has become more mainstream, I see less and less of these assumptions all of the time. Here is a list of the most popular accessories for the P168:

CECT P168 Instruction Manuals, User’s And Internet Guides: Perhaps the biggest reason that people hesitate to pursue this phone is that they think because it is an import, they need to know Chinese. Nope, not true. First, the phone is pretty intuitive and easy to figure out. But if you do have questions, there are a slew of guides, manuals, e-books and software that is readily available in just about every language imaginable, usually costing less than $10. There are also guides available for specific carriers like AT&T, T Mobile, and Cingular, to name only a few.

Hands Free Head Sets/ Sunglasses: There are numerous Bluetooth and other brand headsets or sunglasses with headsets available for this phone. Again, they are very inexpensive, usually under $15

Cases And / Or Skins: As this phone becomes mainstream, more and more skins and cases are becoming available. There’s your standard leather pouch, belt clip or carrying case, but now there are more playful colors and textures. There is also a wide variety or silicone skins that protect the phone. The best part is it’s rare to pay over $5 for either of these.

Replacement Or Extra Batteries: This is a very efficient phone with a talk time of 180 to 200 minutes and a stand by time of up to 150 hours, but you will eventually need to change the battery and when you do, you won’t need to visit the dealer as with the iPhone. These batteries are very cheap too, usually in the $2 – $3 range.

Additional Memory And / Or Sim Cards: The P168 is dual sim, so you may need a spare. Additionally, the memory on this is expandable to 2GB, so an additional memory card can be a good idea. Both usually run under $10.

Car Chargers And Home Chargers: These are usually included with you cell phone purchase, but it never hurts to have extras. These are dirt cheap, usually well under $5.

CECT I9 Accessories – Extras and Spares Are Readily Available and Inexpensive

I often write about and own many of these import, knock off iPhone clones and people sometimes tell me that although they would love to own one of these dual sim models, they hesitate because they think that it will be expensive or difficult to get accessories for it. The purpose of this article is to outline the most popular CECT accessories and to show the approximate cost (cheap) and availability (easy).

CECT i9 Instruction Manual, User’s Guide, Internet Set Up: Probably the biggest worry that people have about the CECT i9 is that they won’t be able to set up it up or sync it to work. This would be a real shame because now that this phone has Java, there are so many more productivity and gaming options available for this phone.

I find the set up to be pretty user friendly and there’s no software (the phone will read your sim card), but I’ve done this several times before and I understand that having instructions in front of you is often easier. The instructions aren’t all in Chinese, I promise. You can get instructions, set up and internet guides in any language imaginable, including English.

People sometimes worry about setting up the MMS on these phones. The instructions will walk you through this, for most all carriers (AT&T, T Mobile, Sprint, Cingular, etc.) and typically only cost a few bucks.

Memory And Sim Cards: The i9 has the dual sim feature so you will need two sim cards if you want to use this (although the phone will work fine if you don’t want to use it.) But, if you want or need a spare, it will cost well under $10.

Replacement Batteries: You can replace the battery yourself with the clones. You don’t need to go to the dealer when it dies. These phones are pretty efficient (with one of the longest talk and stand by times in the industry), but if you need a spare, they usually run under $2.

Car Chargers And Home Chargers For the I9: Most people charge their mobile phone every day (and having one for the car is usually a given) Home and car chargers for this model are often under $5.

Cases, Pouches And Skins: Consumers love to personalize their phones with cases and skins and the i9 is certainly no exception. You can usually get skins, cases and pouches in a wide variety of materials, colors and textures and more are becoming available all the time. Most times, you’ll pay anywhere from $5 – $10. 

Screen Guards / Protective Covers: These thin little stick ons protect the i9’s touch screen from scratches, finger prints and damage. They are dirt cheap and in my opinion a no brainer.

Car Chargers And Home Chargers For the i9: Most people charge their mobile phone every day (and having one for the car is usually a given.) Home and car chargers for this model are often under $5.

Hands Free And Head Sets: This is one place where I might recommend you spend a few more dollars to get high quality speakers. CECT’s are known for and have very loud, sharp, crisp speakers. So, it doesn’t make sense to buy a pair of cheap head phones / sets that are going to take this sound quality away. Bluetooth headsets for this model are also very popular. But again, nothing here (even the highest quality models) runs over $20.
