Wow, thank you. New provider, old provider, others, downloaded a app that didn't work, all said it couldn't be done. It's done, wife loves me, thank you again.
Thank you very much - my plan was to manually add them one at a time, and following your very good instructions, this saved me a lot of time. I have a LG flip phone, and had to choose slightly different options than your phone, but I was able to figure it out. I had to choose OPTIONS on the upper left of my phone for example. You just saved me a ton of time and is appreciated!
Thanks man. Had to upgrade to a new phone because the flip phone I have won’t be supported by the network I currently have. So I got my 1st smart phone whic is the razor 5G. Still wanted a flip phone!
Watched this video in order to transfer contacts from an old Samsung Gusto 3 flip phone to a new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 smartphone. After playing around with the old flip phone or a few minutes I found that instead of selecting manage contacts I needed to select send name card and then connect through Bluetooth and it worked. I was able to pair the two phones and download the contacts from the old phone to the new. Saved hours of work entering it manually. Thank you so much for this video.
Amy Werba: Thanks for sharing. If you don't mind sharing the brand and model of the flip phone to help others with that same model. Thanks again for the comment.
@@ScubaMoto I have added the phone models as requested in the original comment. My husband is thrilled that I was able to load his contacts, especially after the rep at Verizon said it couldn’t be done!
Thank you so much for this video! It's my birthday and my daughter gave me my first smart phone. I was dreading manually entering hundreds of contacts. What a gift!
Great presentation. For me just a little fast when you're trying to manage flip, smart phone and watching your video at the same time for a senior. but for most part very helpful. Thank you!
I've got a 2008 Motorola flip-phone. I never wanted a smartphone - because, I didn't want to lose my pictures, now I'm motivated to get a smartphone. Thank You!! BTW, I subscribed with alerts.
Thank you for sharing this informative video. I do have a smart phone, a Tablet, a PC, and a basic (old school) Samsung model SGH-390G These phones were advertised as "Smartphones" LOL! Even way back when that model came out, before Samsung became overly priced, churning out way too many makes and models of phones to keep up with, for me, that phone was NOT what I'd say is a "smartphone". Yes you can access Bluetooth and there appears to be 2 options in "Connectivity" 1.) Bluetooth 2.) Select USB Mode I never wasted my time as it had very limited Internet access. All those phones are capable of is their limited mobile "web" browser. Anyhow, I have quite a few photos, and a lot of messages that I didn't think I could transfer to my "smartphone" or other devices. Hopefully I might even be able to transfer the text messages, which most were saved to the SIM card. Im wondering if a SIM card that old could be used in one of my cheap "Smartphones" that I just have as a spare, and took out its SIM card and only use it via the wireless connection at my home? I guess it's worth a try. So thank you for showing that it is possible to transfer trying a few different options depending on ones phone model. 🙂
THANK YOU !!!! IHAVE SO MANY OLD PHONES AND I TRYED TO FOLLOW OTHER VIDEOS AND YOURS WAS THE EASY AND THE BEST ONE THAT I UNDERSTOOD, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
My grandmother has an old LG flip and I was able to find it and pair but it wouldn’t let me connect it said some thing about not supported so when I tried to send the photos it would just fail every time could it be that the model of her phone is so old that I’m not able to send the photos to my iPhone?
Michelle S: As soon as I read "iPhone" in your message I suspected it's the same issue with Bluetooth I've heard others have with Apple devices. I don't own any Apple product, so, unfortunately, I haven't had experience with IOS and Bluetooth. For now I would recommend transferring with Bluetooth as shown in the video to a friend's Android device or to a PC that has Bluetooth and then you can transfer to wherever you'd like using USB or thumb drives. I have done a bit of research and found that you have a lot of company with many others having issues with Bluetooth transfer to or from Apple devices. If you don't have a friend with a PC or an Android device, this link may get you started in the right direction. developer.apple.com/forums/thread/672553 I hope that helps.
Hey Josephina, I don't own any Apple product but I have found many threads for people having issues with iPhone and Bluetooth. I put links in the video description that should get you started. Good luck with it.
There are a great many variables affecting the answer to the question. If it was Android to Android it would be simpler. -Flip phones all had their own independent operating systems. So, with hundreds of flip phone models out there, it starts with how well the flip phone will interface with a PC via a USB connection. -"Smart phones" are either iOS, android or a couple others, and that also affects options for transferring text files. -Cellular Carriers are different in what type of cloud service they offer. Some may have service options available that might be useful for a transfer through their servers. If you have a major carrier, the place to start might be the tech services of your carrier.
Any ideas for transferring photos from an old Samsung SCH-A670? I’m trying to look for data cables but they are so hard to find and I’m not sure if other models would work. Thanks!
Wow, that's a relic. No wifi, no Bluetooth and no USB. That makes it tough to do without re-connecting to network. Your camera claims VGA (480x640) and your display is 128x160. If you only want a few photos, you could zoom in and pan on one quadrant at a time taking digital images of the display for each zoomed pan. That will preserve the 480 resolution. Then I would patch them together in a photo editor. It's what I would do if I really wanted the pics. I hope that helps.
my phone is LG U8330 with infrared connectivity and a LG 24pin connector. I can only send MMS with a maximum 300 KB of multimedia. It's hard to get one usb to that LG 24-pin connector cable.
Hi, my old flip phone is: Verizon Casio C211 GzOne Type-S I'm not seeing a "manage photos option" I've paired it with my galaxy s21, but can't seem to figure out how to send anything over. Any help is very much appreciated, thanks.
Phone menus are definitely different. From your phone's User manual: 1.From idle mode, press the Center Select Key [MENU], select Media Center, then press the Center Select Key [OK]. 2.Press the 3 key for Picture and Video and then the 3 key again for My Pictures. 3. Select the image you want to send, then press the Right Soft Key [Options]. 4.Press the 1 key for Send and then press the 4 key for Bluetooth 5.Highlight the image and press the Center Select Key [MARK], when finished selecting images, press the Left Soft Key [Done]. 6.Select the receiving device and then press the Center Select Key[OK]. I hope that helps.
@@ScubaMoto Great! Amazingly the thing does have a bluetooth option, so I may try that. Kyocera Model Luna 3G, 2011. The PC I was given is HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook with Windows 7, about a year ago. (My first PC.) It didn't recognize the Kyocera when I tried with a data cable. (That did work with my old Moto Android, so maybe bluetooth is the way).
My 12yr old moto Razor has Bluetooth but not options your flip shows, newest pH is a moto g power 2021, I'll mess around with it. It's not recognizing my smart phone,?
@@ScubaMoto my new pH recognized my old moto, a TracFone, just has no files or way to transfer files. Gonna call TracFone, maybe get a 60min card and just fwd them, still dials 911.
I have a Motorola W755. Flip phone. Verizon is shutting down the 3G network. How can my contacts be transferred to an iphone. This W 755 is the best ,perfect size and works where smart phones don’t. I am paralyzed about having to give it up. Thank you for your help. Joyce
Too bad you have to give it up. If you're still on network, backup assistant should be available through Verizon or they may have support for the contact transfer process.
Yes, in many cases. The process for pairing with PC's is similar to the video and the photos should go to the downloads file in Windows File Explorer. For a Mac you have to enable Bluetooth sharing.
Okay, here's my thing. Maybe someone can help. My phone will not turn on. I was prepaying for 10yrs Verizon. Then I got a free phone. Waited too long to keep my number. Therefore, I have new number. My flip still worked, but no service. 4 mos. Then out of the blue it just turned itself off. No sounds like when battery dieing. Also battery was 3 bars. Took battery out and put back, phone comes on. A wk later dies again. Won't come back on now. And I wish to do your most wonderful video is displaying. Help please, anything, anybody?????🤪😜😝😛😋
Once you solve your battery issue, you can simply follow the steps in the video. Since removing your battery had, at least, a temporary benefit; it may help to clean the oxidation off of the contact terminals on the phone and the contacts on the battery. My favorite cleaner is DeOxit-5 but you might have some success with WD40 followed by rubbing alcohol. Just let things dry out before re-inserting and charging the battery. If you still have a battery issue, you can check the charge port to make sure it's clean and getting a healthy contact when a cord is plugged in. If none of that helps, you may need to leave the cord plugged in while working or you may need a new battery. I hope that helps.
thank you so much for this! My dad just passed and we couldn't figure this out on our own. Now we can see and share all his photos
