Your best bet will probably be to see if you can send them via picture mail to your email address and download them. Otherwise, you may be able to use a cable to transfer the images from your phone to your computer, but be warned that a lot of these so called transfer cables do not work. It is also very difficult to find them in stores.































Tracfone phones are generally some of the cheapest phones available but you get what you pay for.































Consider this: When you buy a Tracfone for 30 dollars, you are buying a 30 dollar phone. But when you buy a phone from Sprint, ATT, or Verizon for 30 dollars, you are more than likely getting a 200 dollar phone that has been discounted for you since you are signing a contract to be with their service for 2 years.































I worked for an electronics retailer for a few years and had several people with similar problems come in looking for answers, but the sad fact is that there is probably is no way to move the pictures unless you can do it with picture mail.































If you want to be able to take pictures with your phone and move them to a computer, your best bet would be to switch carriers to a carrier who can offer you a phone that has a microSD card slot. Then:































1. You can save the images from the phone to a MicroSD card.















2. Take the card from the phone and place it into a MicroSD to full size SD card adapter.















3. Use an SD card reader attached to your computer to remove the images.































Cheers!

Depends on the phone. You might want to read the instructions that came with it or just Google the phone's name and model number along with the word "manual."

Or, you could e-mail the picture to yourself, as another person suggested.

As for the comment about the price of the phone, when you sign a contract, over the course of the contract, you are paying MUCH more than the cost of the phone, which is why the company wants you to sign a contract in the first place!

Duh!

They can sock you with all kinds of extra fees and charges.

And they do!

Prepaid is where it's at!
