I have an old samsung cell phone that just lost its picture and am wondering what software to use to get my phone numbers from it. Or where can I get it fixed for less than the $55 that sprint wants?

Can't Sprint just transfer your numbers to a new phone which you can get for less than $55.

Yeah they have a transfer program.... Cingular did it for me no problem. Then I switched to Verizon and just decided to take care of it myself

The sprint store I went to said they no longer have the cables for the old phone. I can get a cable from ebay but need to download the info and then transfer it to the new phone.

why don't normal cell phones use mini usb cables yet? They can do everything, and they are powered so you can charge through your pc.

/blackberry uses usb

Not sure if your phone has this or not, but under the battery there might be a little memory card that some cell phone manf, use to keep all the data on and can just put that card in the new phone.

As someone that has gone through a lot of cell phones over the years, I must say God bless the invention of the SIM card! :notworthy

Verizon doesn't use them and that technology is fading fast

REally? I love being able to so easily move my #'s from old cell to new cell! :(

Although, with bluetooth becoming more common, I suppose you could always bluetooth your contacts over from old to new, but that would take a lot more time. I'll be very annoyed if the SIM card becomes history. :mad:
