How to Send Pictures from Your Cell Phone to Your Computer Colorado

Steps

1. Use a cellphone with Bluetooth (wireless connection), Infrared (like a TV remote, line of sight) or even a USB connection (which is a computer port, the same as on a digital camera or iPod). These are all good ways to communicate with other devices.
2. If your computer does not have the hardware for a Bluetooth/Infared this connection, then buy the adaptor, sometimes called a 'dongle'. The common BT/I adapter plugs into a USB port. It will be quite cheap, perhaps NZ$30, something like 10 to 20 American dollars. This adapter will have software for the connection process, which lets you transfer files from the computer to your phone, or vice versa!
3. If your phone doesn't have the capability to connect to your computer, then you can try to email the photos, which will cost money, like a txt message. Instead of a phone number, there should be a way to type an email address.
4. If you have a Motorola phone you can use a tool called Motorola Phone Tools. It isn't free but comes with a USB cable you can directly connect to the computer

Tips

• Buy a cellphone with Bluetooth or USB, Infrared is not as good as it always needs a line of sight, that means placing the phone very close, lined up, with the adapter on the computer. Bluetooth can be used over a distance!
• Bluetooth is measured in classes. Class 1 is the best, its on my Motorola V3 RAZR, it allows a distance up to 100M away from the other device! Class 2 is far more common, it allows 10M, which is still quite good! Note: the adapter has to be capable of Class 1 to use the added range of Class 1 Bluetooth, if you have a Class 1 phone, and a slightly cheaper Class 2 adapter, you might as well have a Class 2 phone as well.

Warnings

• Emailing the photos will cost money. If you have to send a great number of photos, then it could add up quickly.
