what brand is it? If its Nokia you can download Nokia PC Suite and connect to the your computer via infrared,bluetooth or cable.

If your computer has no of these you can either buy a infrared or bluetooth adapter(plugs into USB) or you can buy a connection cord for your phone model and use that to connect to your computer,once your connected it should pop up with some file tranfering program.

You can transfer stuff to Motorolas with the program and a cord or bluetooth. I do it with my Razor.

Well I have this adapter thing. You put your card into a little "SD" adapter and then that goes into a reader or something which plugs into the USB port. You make a folder for the card and load it up then put it back in the phone.
