Extra phone storage space with no memory card slot

Bear with me here... I'm a little technologically inept but I'm hoping the lovely MSE people may be able to assist.

My grandma has treated herself to this phone: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Binatone-SM800-Screen-Button-Mobile-Black/dp/B00KBYBMRU. She wanted a phone that she could take pictures of her great grandchildren on, but she can't see the icons of a normal smartphone. She's quite severely partially sighted but can see this one fine with a magnifying glass.

So she's tried taking photographs with it, and after taking one, the phone says the memory is full!! I have looked at it and I can't see a memory card slot anywhere on it! I've even had the battery out to look under that and there really isn't one I don't think.

Is there some kind of way that I can extend the memory on her phone? Is there some kind of external hard drive for a phone like with a computer? Do SIM cards have storage space for pictures?

Basically, can anything be done for her to still be able to use this phone but to be able to store more than 1 picture??

I hope it's not too much of a stupid question but I don't know much about technology myself.

Thank you in advance! :j

    Ah. I shall have a look next time I'm there. How do I get to under the sim card? Does it just pop open? I'm hoping it does :rotfl:

    Apologies for the delay. The Binatone SM800 does not support a memory card. There are no slots on the outside and there is no space under the battery where some phones do accommodate a card.

  • the answer was hidden in one of the questions on amazon , I presume you remove the sim card, and you can see an extra slot/hole below it

    "Apologies for the delay. The Binatone SM800 does not support a memory card. There are no slots on the outside and there is no space under the battery where some phones do accommodate a card."


    correct , its not on the outside or under the battery


    its installed in the metal slot located under the SIM card




    sometimes the questions and answers on amazon are a joke , OP , please look where the poster WHO FITTED A MEMORY CARD said it was , if you look for slots on the outside or under the battery (where other phones have them) you might be disappointed
