TORONTO – Canadian wireless startup dotmobile added two Canadian wireless accessory suppliers to its marketplace in Axessorize and Mellow.
Axessorize recently did a promotion with LG in support of its latest flagship phone and Mellow makes 100% biodegradable and compostable cases. Since the average smartphone user replaces their case more frequently than they upgrade their device, with Mellow’s cases they can contribute less to the plastic crisis, says the dotmobile press release.
“While most wireless providers focus on the latest generation of devices, we will offer more and more services centered around the phone already in your hands. Being able to service, repair, or buy new accessories for your current phone is part of making wireless more affordable and awesome,” said Algis Akstinas, CEO of dotmobile in the press release.
Providing users with well-curated and contextual products for their device and standard shipping options helps to address “choice paralysis”, and differentiates the experience from the likes of Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, and Walmart, adds the release.
“We continuously curate our selection of accessories across multiple brands and lifestyles to ensure every member has access to great products specific to their needs, and most importantly their device, regardless of its relative age,” added Tiago Kunzendorff, dotmobile’s marketplace manager.
The alpha version of the company’s app is slated to launch this fall.
