Can you get pictures off your cell phone camera onto your computer? (I have verizon).

Posted by BlueWizard (Member # 9389) on :

Most likely, if you have the right connecting cord, you can transfer your files via your computer's USB connection. Just plug it in, and the camera will look link a new hard drive.

If that doesn't work, then you probably have to email them to yourself.

Varies a lot by phone and service. Some allow USB transfer; others find ways to make you pay through the nose for your own photos. Be careful- if your phone service, say, charges per kilobyte of data transfer, photos can add up.

What phone do you have? For some Verizon phones it is possible to buy third-party USB cables. Otherwise, you can always email it to yourself.

I guess I'll try emailing it...I don't want to buy anything, it's not THAT important. thanks for the responses.

i hate cell phones. [Mad]

Some phones take/come with SD or miniSD cards and you can transfer pictures with a memory card reader.

You can sign up at the Verizon Wireless Pix site (www.vzwpix.com) and send them there.

I had a phone with a mini SD card that wouldn't let me put the photos on it and transfer them to my computer. I hated that phone.

Awesome! Thanks, Mama!

Except I'm confused. If I email them there, won't I get charged, just the same as if I emailed them to myself?

Posted by Mama Squirrel (Member # 4155) on :

I don't remember getting charged anything.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

And you emailed pics to their address? I'll try it. [Smile]

Posted by Mama Squirrel (Member # 4155) on :

I don't remember exactly what address it was. Something like save or saved@something I don't remember. Sorry I can't be more help than that. It's been a while.

That's ok. I think I found it last week; I'm sure I can find it again.
