Well my friend has something thats called bluetooth and you get this chip or something and connect it to your phone then you get this second thing thats like a wireless UBS cable and connect that to your computer.Thats how my friend gets her photos to her computer.

Verizon disables file transfers via Bluetooth, I was part of a class action law suit against them (and won) for disabling obex support (after selling it advertising that you could transfer via bluetooth). They want to charge you for the picture service, a$$holes. Bluetooth on Verizon really means for headset only.

You can attach photo's into a message if the service is part of your package, best to check with the place you bought the service from.

As for transfering pictures, alot depends on the model of phone you have. Most phones need a hardwire cable to transfer and proprietory software, ie. Motorola's PhoneTools. Some phones have TransFlash, Mini SD, or similar type flash based cards that you can use with a card reader to get them into your computer.

I don't have any experience with Samsung phones, so I can't help much there.

If you have a samesung a70 or a60 (forgot the exact model name) then, no, you can't transferre anything. It's sucks, but hey. I use my phone for a phone, not really much else.

seems like the buttons on the Nokia 7610 would drive you MAD.

how? and would i have to pay for every pic as if it was a message one by one?

you go to your text message section on you phone. add the pic as an attachment. and put your email for the address. if you dont have a text message plan it will be about 25. cence a message.

ha ok thanks . took 14 posts to get the answer i needed. thanks.

[Sniprwulf]

You could email, but if you have the usb cord, u can transfer pictures and alot more. Ringtones and such for free. take the model of the phone you have, and search on ebay under cell phone accesories. usually for around 15 bucks you can get the cord, and some software w/a couple thousand ringtones, wallpapers, etc for your phone.
