Cell phone cameras are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. Advances in technology have made it possible to take high-quality pictures that rival those taken by costly digital cameras. And when you use your phone to take vacation photos and pictures at special events, you negate the need for carrying around extra, bulky equipment. If you're new to the world of cellular photography, however, you may wonder how you can use your photos other than viewing them on your phone and picture messaging them to your friends and family. The truth is that you can transfer and print photos from your cell phone just as easily as you can use photos taken with a camera.
Transfer Photos Using Email
You can easily send photos to your computer using the e-mail option on your used or refurbished cell phone. However, this option has several disadvantages. Most cell phones only allow you to attach one picture at a time to an e-mail message. If you have a large number of photos to send, the task could be very time consuming. It may even cost you to send e-mail messages. So, be sure to consult your plan before sending off a large number of e-mails using your phone.
Establish a Direct Connection with Your PC
Newer used cell phone models come equipped with a USB cord that you can use to connect your phone directly to your PC. Once a connection has been established, you can transfer photos from your phone to your computer in one, easy step. Don't worry about having software or an instruction manual. All you have to do is establish the connection and follow the prompts.
Transferring Photos Wirelessly
Bluetooth technology allows you to transfer pics to your PC wirelessly. To do so, both your phone and PC need to have the technology. Once you enable the Bluetooth capability of the phone and computer, all you have to do is send your photos to the computer in one, simple step.
Instant Prints as Photo Booths
Photo booths are located at many popular department stores such as Walmart and Target. You can find photo booth kiosks in the photo section, usually located near the electronics department, of many popular stores. To turn your photos into print photos, simply remove your memory card and insert it into the slot indicated on the photo-print machine. Follow the prompts given by the machine to select, crop and print your photos.
Most used Blackberry cell phones come equipped with a memory card that is not yet compatible with photo-print stations. The cards are called MicroSD cards. Phones with this type of memory card come with an adapter that allows you to connect the card to the photo station. Always carry your adapter with you if you have this type of memory card as you will need it to perform most photo functions at department stores.
Cell phones make taking photos easy. Fortunately, transferring and sharing photos is just as easy. With just a few steps, you can retrieve photos from your phone and share them with your family and friends. If you like to print photos, all you have to do is stop by your local department store. Your photos do not have to be trapped forever in your cellular phone. Photos are meant to be shared; technology makes it possible.
