To transfer files from your phone you can link with a USB connection. Radio Shack has a Micro connetion adapter. when you connect it will look like a external memory drive. You can also store MP3's on your phone. The volume will be low but Wally World has a small battery powered speaker you can use for around $10. I just got a LG500 from Tracfone as a replacement for the LG800g I had. It broke after a month and 3 replacement phones they sent me would not turn on, so they sent the LG500. If you don't have a memory card remember to by the 4 gig mini, SDHC, also at Wally World. The part that you need is inside the SD adapter, it slides out and into you phone under the battery, next to the SIM card.
