Does anyone know how to get photos of a nokia phone?

Dh's friend's little baby died two weeks ago, I have met her now and she is a lovely girl, but the problem is that she has no photographs of her baby as her ex ripped up all the photos. She has lots of photos on her phone but she want to get them printed. Does anyone know if its possible?

What a w@@@@r- the ex I mean- why on god's earth would he do such a thing! What a complete tosspot.

So sorry for your friends loss mieow.

If she's got infrared she can take the phone to boots to use the new machines there-point the phone at the infrared port and wham- not quite as easy as that but the staff will help her.
Can she send emails? probably- is so you can attach the picture to a multimedia mesage and send it as an email to a pc and then print.
or if there's a memory card in the phone she can take the memory card out and put it in a card reader attached to a pc and then get the pics on her pc.
What number phone is it. dh has the older type of picture phone- the one with the round dial and its fairly bulky- tat's got a memory card. Mine's the 7250i and that's got infrared or i send them by email.
her best bet if she doesn't understand the phone is to ask in a shop.

you can usually buy USB leads that attach from the phone to the computer and download them that way. then if you save them to cd rom take them to boots and they will print them out. What model phone has she got?

I am so sorry for what your friend is going through at the moment. {{{HUGS}}}

there's no usb port on my phone Titania-just incase your friend goes to buy one and she's got no port.
Whish phone does she have

I think its an 7250i, she tried at boots but it didn't work so if she has multimedia she could send it to my computer and I could open it and print it for her? I'll talk to her today and look at her phone and work out what the best way to do it is.

this is the lead for her phone

pixiefish · 17/11/2004 09:13

Sorry Titania- didn't know about that lead- the port on my 7250i is more like a serial port than a usb port- probably the other end must be usb then

I've got the 7250i and this is how I send pics from my phone to my email.

multimedia messages
create message
options
insert image
(attach pic)
send to e-mail

You'll get the pic as an attachment on your email adn then you can print them off. Hope this helps

Titania · 17/11/2004 09:17

yes i do that too....have just ordered a lead though cos ut will be cheaper than emailing pictures to my laptop all the time!!

zephyrcat · 17/11/2004 09:28

if you have got a phone that can hold photos too get her to send them all to you in messages first then that way, if, god forbid, anything happened while she was trying to print them then you have backup copies

lou33 · 17/11/2004 09:29

i have the 7250i and i email them to myself, then print them up if i want a hard copy

I have looked at both the 7250 and the 7250i, its defo. one of those two, if its the 7250 can she still send the pics via MMS?

i'm just gonna try to see if i can find out for you mieow. How have things been since he died? I've been meaning to call up your first post about it and find out how you and dh were doing - i guess you or he went to the funeral and realise that must be a really traumatic thing ..... will be back in a mo with whatever i find

zephyrcat · 17/11/2004 14:01

yes she definately can go here this will show you ways to get the pics i think - if not it definately tells you what it can/can't do. Hope it helps you out - all the best to you and your friend

ZC the young lady herself is in pieces atm, the other kids have been taken in to care, her eledest child is living with his dad, she has to go to court tomorrow about her eledest child, she has 1 hours contact a day, she has to fill forms in for the council as she was in a refuse and can't go back to her old house because of the ex. She is staying at DH's mate's house but she is basically homeless, and she can't think about getting her kids back till she has been rehoused. Its a complete mess here.
The funeral is on monday, she has asked me to go (we met three days ago, have got on really well, I have helped her with getting to the Foster carers house, contact visits , solicitors etc) but I can't go as there is noone to look after my kids. I will have to pick up DS early from school as the funeral is at 2:00pm, and I can't pick him up at normal time as someone has to be here for DD1 coming home in her taxi. She is such a sweet girl, its just a shame I didn't meet her before all this happened

god its such an awful situation. Would your parents be able to help you out on Monday? I'm sure she will need someone to be there with her. It's so good that you are there for her everyday - just a shame its in such tragic circumstances. I hope the link below helps you out with her pics - she will be desperate to have them i guess, i know i would.

my parents are flying out to Cyprus on saturday, and there is no point asking MIL as she refuses to look after my girls, and she doesn't want DH to go anyway (because the ex will be there)

She said she likes me becuase when Dh brought them in on monday (I wasn't expecting him to bring them back) I just said Hi, How are you? And gave her a smile. I didn't hug her and make her feel like everyone else has done.

aww bless her. I cant begin to imagine what it must be like not only to lose your baby but then all your other children as well! Good on you for being there

I really like her, we have the same taste in music and clothes, and we have the same sense of humour. she has even said we will have to go clubbing once all this is out of the way. She is able to talk to me. Today when I picked her up after her contact visit, she just burst into tears, I just hugged her and let her cry. She has been enjoying having hugs with my DD2 too

OP posts:
zephyrcat · 17/11/2004 20:01

I bet she does - it must be a really surreal feeling suddenly having no children around - but from a good point of view at least by saying that she wants you and her to go out clubbing she is looking forward and not letting it drag her down - which can only be a good thing. I only wish I was near you - I'd look after yours so you could be with her on Monday

she is so brave when she comes out of the visits, she holds it together in with her boys, but as soon as they are out of view she breaks down, the bitch social worker looked at me in disgust earlier as I was waiting for her to come out, wouldn't have mind if I was some druggie but I am not and I have kids of my own and am just being there for a friend

sorry shouldn't have said "b*tch

OP posts:
zephyrcat · 17/11/2004 20:21

course you should if thats the way she looks at you! theres hardly any need for it! Will she get her kids back as soon as she gets somewhere to live? Does she say how the kids are coping - their poor little heads must be well messed up - losing their little brother then being taken away from their mum

the two in foster care are only 1 and 2, all they know is their mum ain't with them, the 2 yr old screams every time. She has contact dates till xmas, which is a shame as she wanted them home for xmas. According to my sister(who is a family support worker at SS) it could be three months, as all cases are reviewed every three months, but I won't tell her that, it will drive her mad. I asked my sister if it was possible that someone could go in with her, as she isn't taking everything in that is being said, and my sis said to get a Adocate worker, who will help her through this.

thats good news - at least she will have that extra bit of help and support.
