removing Photos from an old Panasonic GD87 flip phone

hanki34

Hi all, can anyone possibly help me. I have an old Panasonic GD87 flip phone and I am wanting to take the photos off it. I put my giffgaff SIM card into it and I can text from it but when I try to send an MMS it says it’s too large. I therefore thought I would try emailing it, but unsure how to set up the email as it’s asking for things like POP3 server, user ID and password, primary and secondary DNS. Is there anyone that could possibly point me in the right direction to set email up. Thanking you ever so much, Sam

hanki34 Hi you could download WhatsApp, viber or Facebook messenger to send MMS as this will use your data an not credit ! Alot easier !

Hi, not familiar with the phone, but if it supports being connected to a computer via a USB cable, that might be the easiest way to access the photos and copy them to the computer.

This information should be available from your email service provider's support pages. If you can tell us who your email provider is, we may be able to give you more detailed help.

Good luck, stay home, stay well!

Is it not possible to Bluetooth them to another device ?

richybhoy36 it’s one of the phones before we could have apps sadly 🙁 but thank you for your suggestion I do appreciate it.

jfc1951 I will have to see if I can purchase a cable. I was hoping I would just be able to send pictures from one number to another. But just no idea on the answers to the setting I would input nowadays. Thanks ever so much.

You may have one. It's a typical USB to mini or micro USB cable, depending on the phone interface..

As to the email settings, as advised, you can probably get them from your email provider's website

These should be the settings that you should need to get your Panasonic phone to use Gmail:

Incoming Mail (POP) Server

pop.gmail.com

Requires SSL: Yes

Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server

smtp.gmail.com

Requires SSL: Yes

Requires TLS: Yes (if available)

Requires Authentication: Yes

Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587

You will also need your Gmail username and password in the appropriate places.

Good luck, stay home stay well!

To fetch mail

(you may have to enter these settings even if you do not intend downloading any mail to your phone):

POP3 Host: pop.gmail.com
POP3 Port: 995
TLS Protocol: ON
SSL Protocol: ON
POP3 Username: (your Gmail username)
POP3 Password: (your Gmail password)

Important: make 100% sure that "POP3 download" in your Gmail account settings is set to "Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on". If not, Gmail will send all existing (even read) messages

To send mail

SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port: 587 (if 587 doesn't work, try 465)
SSL Protocol: ON
TLS Protocol: ON (if available)
Requires Authentication: Yes
SMTP Username: (your Gmail username)
SMTP Password: (your Gmail password)

Hi hanki34 one idea could be if you picked up another older phone (working) that has both irda as it was called and bluetooth some examples of this are nokia 6820/2 nokia 6310i or sony ericson t610 bit of a faff as irda could be temperamental at times though?
That might be your only option if you can't get the email working?
