Step 1

Make sure that your AT&T cell phone has WAP or GPRS so you can receive emails; this information should be in the owner's manual. Log on to your email and send the video file to your cell phone. The drawback is that you have to pay for the time you are logged in to view the video you download.

Step 2

Transfer video files from your computer to your cell phone with a USB data cable if you have a cell phone provider other than AT&T. You'll need to purchase a USB data cable, as this does not come free with your cell phone unit. You also need a copy of DataPilot to transfer video files or any other files to and from your cell phone.
