Make sure your memory card is inserted into the cell phone before you attempt to download any music to it. Your cell phone's hard-drive space alone is not big enough to hold a large amount of music files. If you choose to download music directly from your cell phone carrier, be aware that there will be a charge for each individual music file you download.

If it is not, you cannot complete the transfer.
