Help! Memory card stuck in cell phone

[Debi]

I'm the first to admit that I'm a blonde when it comes to technology. I got a new cell phone a few days ago, and downloaded (or I think I did) music on to the memory card. I went to put the memory card in the phone to make sure the music downloaded, and I got the card stuck in the phone crooked! I can't pull it out or push it the rest of the way in. There's only a very small corner of the memory card sticking out. Does anyone have any advice on how to get the card out (or, preferably in correctly) without damaging either the phone or the card? Thanks!

No clue, but can you take it to wherever you purchased it? Maybe they can get it out, or in, for you.

If I can't figure this out tonight, I will head to the T-Mobile store tomorrow to ask them to help. I'm trying to avoid another trip to the store, as I've been there a LOT lately.

try a pair of small tweezers or needle nose pliers, and GENTLY pull it out.

then put in back into the computer reader to see if the music/data is there.

(not the phone)

I didn't think of using tweezers. I'll try that. Thanks!

I didn't think of using tweezers. I'll try that. Thanks!

let us know if you get it out.

Tweezers didn't work, as the memory card slot is too narrow. Any other suggestions? I plan on heading up to T-Mobile tomorrow as everything I've tried isn't working out. Hopefully this is the last trip to the T-Mobile store for a long time!

On my phone, you have to gently push in on it and then it pops out for easy removal.

I did that with my MP3 player once. It's an ancient one that takes a memory card and I had put it in backwards. It was jamming up on a spring and I had to take it apart then put it back together. Since your phone is new you might not want to do this yourself.
