A friend of mine has a Sanyo SCP-7400 phone, about 5 years old, and is upgrading to a new phone. She wants to get her contacts and her pics out of the phone and of course it's a non SIM model.

Any ideas?

Is it an option to email the pictures?

A Telecom dealer should be able to copy the contacts for you.

Thanks graemeh. With the pics there are two types: 'photos in camera' which we can email and 'pictures in phone' which we can't.

Yeah, my wife had this problem with her Sanyo phone. We couldn't find a way to get the "pictures in phone" out and neither could the shop.

Hopefully someone here will know a way.

you can normally upload pictures to the online gallery on the older handset, and then download them via the pc(which is free) however that would require a new prepaid number and some credit to enable the wap access

this is where a signature goes

Is there a basic file manager on the phone to transfer the 'pictures in phone' to 'photos in camera' to then email?
Have you tried pugging in a usb cable to see what happens? according to these specs the phone has usb connectivity:

The drivers should be available from the web if you don't have them already..

whereabouts are you based?

Do you still have the USB cable? There are USB drivers for the device, they are a little tricky to find though. i might have a copy will need to have a look
