the only way i could do it in the past was to send it to my friend and he could get it on his comp then give it to me, but he cant do it now. and ive looked all over google, ive heard every suggestion, i dont have a data cable, no bluetooth, cant send it via email on my phone for some reason. but i do have internet access, is there some kind of website i can get to from my phone and upload the pic then download it from my comp?

What kind of phone do you have? With my camera phone, I was able to buy a USB cable and download free software that would allow me to manage the phone and copy pictures to my PC. My phone is a Samsung I just bought a few weeks ago.

If you run the brand and model of phone you have along with something like data transfer, downloads, etc. you should find what you need.

I randomly figured out that I could just click on send, and instead of sending it to a phone number, I changed it from number input to text, and wrote my hotmail email address, an my phone just sent it to my hotmail account.

That's how it works in the UK and Qatar.

Don't know if it will work where you are.

Just open the photo, go to send, enter your email address. See if that works. Obviously, it costs to send a picture message though, it's not free like transferring with a cable, but I don't have the cable either, and had the pictures stuck on my phone for ages, until I randomly tried to email it, and it worked! :)

What have you tried already? Did your phone come with a CD and a USB cable? What brand/model of phone is it?

If you have bluetooth, you can use a bluetooth dongle, which can be purchased at any office supply store. You just install the software, plug in the usb device, and then transfer the pictures via bluetooth. Totally free, but you have to transfer the pictures one by one.

You havent tried an external memory card. Thats the way I do it. You have to buy a card that perfectly fits your phone. There is several kinds of them.
Then when inserted in the phone you transfer the photo to the card within the phone. Then you take out the card, put it in an adapter and then into the computer
and poff there goes the transfer!

I wish my phone could do that - unfortunately I have a razr, which doesn't do that. (Unless I'm mistaken.)

So you said your phone got a browser? Can it open any web mail site? If so, send an email from there.

you could always send a text message of the picture to your email. or you could just go the bluetooth or usb cord way, it's much easier and probably cheapr
