[LUG] Mobile phone data recovery

 

Probably off topic but ...

My daughter managed to drop her mobile phone the other day. The screen
is no longer working properly but otherwise it seems OK. It is an old
phone, Nokia, about six years old now.

The problem is that all her data are stored in the phone and not on the
SIM card. And, of course, it is information that she does not have
anywhere else, plus photos.

We will get a new phone for her, but meanwhile she is agitating about
all the data because, surprise, surprise, there is no back up.[1] The
photos cannot be repeated, and the other stuff such as phone numbers are
not held elsewhere.

Can anyone on the list suggest any way to recover all this please? The
data are not encrypted, and not corrupted in any way as far as we know.
Possibly the fall did some damage, but we have no way of knowing.

Thanks for any help

Neil

[1] Actually I did save a lot of the photos onto a DVD a while ago, but
she has taken a lot more since.
