Do you want to send the pictures taken on your cell phone to your computer? Here's how to do it.

Edit Steps

1
Send your photo as an MMS message. MMS (multimedia messaging service) allows you to send your photo to other cell phones or to email addresses. Each cell phone is different, but you should have an option to share your photo via message.
- Be aware that if you're on a plan that charges per text, an MMS will count as a text.
2
Enter your email address. Instead of entering another cell phone number in the Send To field, though, input your email address.
3
Send the photo.
4
Login to your email and download the photo. When you open your email account, you should see a message sent from your phone, with the photo as an attachment. Download the attachment, and the photo will be on your computer.

1
Find or purchase a USB cable for your phone. Most phones you purchase now will come with a USB cable that allows it to be connected directly to your computer. If your phone didn't come with one, search online for a new or used one you can buy, or contact your phone's manufacturer.
2
Plug your phone into your computer. Make sure the phone is on.
3
Open up iTunes, or open the phone's files the same way you would open a flash drive. #*If you use iTunes to manage files on your phone, simply press the drop arrow next to your phone on the left-hand sidebar. Double-click photos, and drag what you want onto your desktop or into a new folder.
- If you don't use iTunes, open your phone like you would any detachable drive. Click My Computer or Finder to locate it. Drag and drop any photos you want to your desktop or a new folder.

Sometime on Android phones the windows will not install the required software so you should install it manually from the internet or via CD.

1
Sync your phone. The photos you take should automatically be transferred to your computer when you do.
- On an iPhone, plugging in the device will prompt the computer to open iPhoto or a similar Photo application, which will display the pictures you took on your iPhone. Choose to upload the photos.

1
Insert a memory card into your phone. Before you take any pictures, check to see if you can insert a memory card into your phone. Many phones use a micro memory card that comes with the phone and can be inserted and removed at will.
2
Make sure your phone saves the pictures to the memory card rather than to the device.
