New cell phone?

gmctrucks · 10-17-2009, 07:40 PM

I bought me a new cell phone since my old phone kicked the bucket. Well the phone is a Sprint Reclaim and it has a sims card in it so I can take a lot of pictures and download them to my computer but my computer doesn't have a card reader where do you guys think I can get one at a good price? Oh im also getting my truck detailed tomorrow my neighbors son did this Caddy and his dads truck and they came out good so will see how it comes out.

No need to pull the SIM card to make the transfer from the phone to the PC. Those cards are actually pretty fragile, and repeatedly transferring them from the phone to the PC and back might cause you problems down the road.

Much better to just pickup a data transfer cable for the phone and use that (and the proper drivers which can be found on the manufacturers website) and transfer the photos that way.

My phone is a Motorola, and the data cable was a whopping $9.00. My g/f's is some other brand that I can't think of at the moment, but hers uses a standard USB A-B cable.

Thanks guys. Bernie I think it was you getting rid of electronic items I looked at your stuff on Ebay and I found nothing.

No comments on the color of my phone matching my truck guys? I'm waiting Crab or Brad.

Bernie it wasn't you getting rid of stuff it was hotrod.
Sorry! GMC

ok gmc now im not trying to be a smart *** or nothing but i care about you in a friendly sorta way so ima help you out a little bit cuz i don't want ppl laughing at you

now the card you have is not a sims card (properly called a sim card. Sims is a computer game. Also sprint phones dont have sim cards just fyi). it is small about the size of your pinkie nail, its called Micro Media Card (MMC) or a Transflash memory card but most ppl just call them Memory cards.

As for transferring the pictures/Videos to you computer you COULD buy a data cable. But i have owned many phones where the cables have been easy to find and drivers weren't so easy. Even when i called the manufactures customer service they said no such driver existed. So what you should do is go ahead and by the media reader and also see if you can by an adapter like the picture here. If you use this method it it also like 10X faster that with the cable anyway. You can useually find the adapters with cards in them at walmart for like $10

Hope I helped

asking me about technology?? thats a good one.
i currently have a razor and have had it for about 2 years now. no desire to trade it in especially for these new ones. i just learned that i have bluetooth and still dont know how to turn that feature on. no desire to do that either. i miss my old nokia that would make a phone call and that was it. no ringtones, no text messages, no pics and videos. i dropped it, ran over it, spilled stuff on it and it kept working. these new phones and be looked at wrong and stop working.

You might want to ask your service provider on your brand to see what the max GB you can have without slowing your phone down when pulling up folders.

i.e. mines a Nokia 6133 and it's max is a 2GB micro without slowing it down.
