Question - How to move photos from Samsung SCH-u350 phone to laptop? [View all]

I would like to move some photos from our old Samsung SCH-u350 3G flip phone to my laptop with Windows 10. I recently purchased a cable with a USB connector to link the phone, as the phone did not come with a USB cable. Upon connecting the cable to both devices, and turning on both devices, my file explorer did not show the phone. I tried going through the phone's various settings to try to send its photos, but had no luck. I Googled how to do this, but the results were of little to no use. I am somewhat computer literate, but not especially so.

Can anybody in DU help me move my photos, or suggest what to try next?

Can you email them to yourself? That's what I used to do when I had a flip phone. 50 Shades Of Blue Mar 2023 #1

Bluetooth is a local thing. If the phone has it, mahatmakanejeeves Mar 2023 #8

Hopefully, when you connect them via the USB, a notification will appear indicating the connection. Earth-shine Mar 2023 #7

So, the notification might appear on the phone? Number9Dream Mar 2023 #9

The notification should appear on the phone. The phone is where you set the USB type. Earth-shine Mar 2023 #10
