How to get pictures off mobile and onto laptop

1jacks64

I have a vodafone payg which is about 3 years old. I want to get the pictures I have taken using the mobile transferred onto my samsung laptop which is 18 months old.

I have switched on the bluetooth functionality on my mobile but it is not locating my samsung. I have tried emailing the 74 photos which are saved on the mobile but I can only seem to do this one at a time and it is quite expensive, the mobile singal is also not very good where I live.

Does anyone know the easiest and cheapest way of transferring these photos and how I actually do it ? Thanks.

You will need to make your laptop visible from bluetooth settings, or switch the phone bluetooth to visible and search for it from the laptop bluetooth settings. Or use the usb cable that should have come with the phone

Thanks do you know how I search for the phone on my laptop bluetooth settings. How do I search for bluetooth on my laptop. ?
Do I go to the control panel ?

I have gone to control panel and then add a device and is says searching for devices makes sure your device is discoverable. Thats all I am getting?

What phone do you have? Do you have the cable to go from your phone to USB? If so connect it and if there's the option on the phone pick 'connect as mass storage device'. Your computer should automatically install the driver and it'll appear in 'my computer'

Can't really say anymore without knowing what phone it is.

My mobile is vodafone and I do not have the instruction manual for it or the USB lead. If I went to a Boots store would they have a way of getting the photos off the phone and printing them out ?

You may find the lead is only 99p or so on ebay and the software can be downloaded for free. Is it a Vodafone branded phone? I had one of these and it was actually made by Sagem - I downloaded the PC software direct from Sagem and used it to access everything in the phone's memory.
