Download Animations to My Cell Phone
Depending on the capabilities of your phone, you have a few options for downloading an animation. As long as you have an animation and a cell phone, you'll be able to do so. One of the most common ways to download animations is from websites that offer multimedia features for cell phones. You will most likely have to pay for the animation, but there are also many free websites out there. If you already have the animation on your computer, you can send or transfer it to your phone without the use of a third-party site.
Instructions
Downloading an Animation to Your Cell Phone
1. Search the Web for animations. There are many cheap and free animations that you will be able to choose from. Some sites may ask you to register for their service before you can download any animations. Make sure to read the "Terms of Use" before you register. You may get an extra fee charged to your monthly bill. These charges usually range in the $10 area.
Once you find an animation that you like, you can click on it and follow the prompts. There are links to sites that have animations in the "Resources" section.
2. Enter your cell phone number on the site and follow the prompts. Some sites will ask for your phone number so they can send you the animation in a text message. If so, just open the message and download the animation. Some sites will give you a URL to follow. In this case, all you do is open your phone's Internet browser and enter the URL.
Once you do so, you will be brought to a link that will allow you to download the animation. If your phone can't go on the Internet, you will have to download your animation from a site that sends it as a text message.
3. Save the animation to your "Images" folder. Once the image is saved to your cell phone, you can set it as your wallpaper or screen saver.
Sending an Animation to Your Cell Phone
4. Go online and open the email program you use on your computer.
5. Compose a new email message and attach any animations you want to download to your cell phone.
6. Email the message to yourself.
7. Open your Internet browser on your cell phone and open your email software.
8. Open the message and download the file attachments that are in your email message. Once they're downloaded, save the animation to your "Images" folder.
Transferring an Animation to Your Cell Phone
9. Connect your cell phone to your computer. Most cell phones connect to computers with a universal serial bus (USB) cable. Your phone should have come with this cable and all software needed to establish communication between your phone and computer. It is likely that you have already installed this software. If not, you will have to do so in order for your computer to recognize your phone.
10. Open your cell phone's folder on your computer. To do this, go to "Start" and open "My Computer." Your phone's folder will be listed under "Devices With Removable Storage." Double-click on your cell phone.
11. Open the folder that has the animations you want to send to your cell phone.
12. Click on the file and drag it to your phone's folder.
13. Click on the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon located on the bottom-right toolbar on your desktop to disconnect your phone. Once the computer prompts you that it's OK to remove your hardware, unplug your phone.
Once your phone is unplugged, you can open the folder where you saved the animation and set it as a wallpaper or screen saver.
