Cellular Phones/Can't move pics

Advertisement


Question
Hi... have a Samsung SCH-U620 cell from VZW... phone no longer has any service signal. Have since bought new replacement phone. Installed 1 gig MicroSD card in it to move pics to new phone. When I try to move ANY pic, message is "File size exceeds availavle space" BTW: I didn't mis-type available... that's what the message says! We're talking 157 pics... about 54 MB worth of data. Got any ideas?

Tnx


Answer
Where are the pictures that you are trying to move? If they are on your computer, you will not be able to just move them to the microSD card. You can take the old phone and the new one with the memory card to Verizon and they can help you move the pictures. The issue is with the size of likely one or more of the photos. There is an individual file size limitation or a memory limitation and that is what is causing the issue. Have the store help you, it's much faster. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
