Hey everyone! I have this really old Samsung slide phone, the model SGH-T301G(TF), which I used with Trac Phone. It has a bunch of photos on it that I want to save. I bought a 20 pin data transfer cable, but it only charges the phone and my Windows 11 PC doesn't recognize it at all. Bluetooth is another option I've tried, but my iPhone can't connect to it since it doesn't show up as available. The phone also doesn't have a Micro SD card slot, and I noticed that it hasn't been on a network in over ten years, meaning emailing the photos isn't an option either. Is there a way I can transfer these photos that I'm missing, or am I just out of luck? I appreciate any help!

You might want to check out this guide that explains how to transfer files from your Samsung T301G to a PC using a USB cable. It seems like there are some specific steps you might need to follow for it to be recognized.

Have you tried sending the photos via Bluetooth? Sometimes it can work, but it looks like your iPhone isn't able to detect the slide phone at all. That might be due to Bluetooth limitations on your old phone since it only supports certain devices like microphones.
Yeah, unfortunately, the iPhone just won't recognize it. The Bluetooth on the slide phone is limited to accessories like headsets, not data transfer.
