I had an Orange phone but it fell in water and is now in the great swimming pool in the sky. I have some photos on the sim which I would like to get back...is there any way I can do this from the card alone? Short of buying another Orange phone, I now have a Vodafone, is there a way to retrieve all my pics etc?

    The pics will be stored on the phone not the sim :(
    What phone is it, did it have an external memory card?

    It was a Sony Erricson 810 I think.

    If they are on the SD card you may have a chance of getting them back. They aren't on the SIM card.

    edit: scrub that as i just saw your next post...should be on the memory duo pro stick. You'll need to find someone else with the same phone.

    So, basically, just as I thought, I can only do it with similar phone?

    Hos about a memory stick reader for a PC? - they'll probably just be in a folder on it.

    The DUO stick has an adaptor to conver it to the same fit as an SD card, got one here :)

    I have just cleared down the memory cards from our SE710 phones. All the pics are in folders on the card. Check all the folders as they can be in a few different places.
