I am looking for a device to plug into my phone, and read SD cards in the field, ie game camera cards. Is this going to work for that purpose?

If your phone has USB port and mass storage device driver support (likely only on a Windows Phone), then this would work.

I'm sorry, I do not know what that is. It only reads memory cards for digital camera's and video camera's.

Assuming your Camera is on the only other thing that comes to mind is a manual search for the wifi signal from the AirCard. Sorry, wish I had more but that's the only thing that comes to mind.The card acts as a transmitter, so it should work (said with hesitation) in any device that uses an SD card but again emphasis is on "should".

It only reads SD Cards sort of like an external memory adapter. If using with iPhone, iPod Touch via iFile (Cydia) meaning it needs to be jailbroken if using in iPad no jailbreak necessary but it only works to transfer photos and videos and things like that

If you mean using the USB port on the adapter to read an SD card on the same adapter, then no, it won't work. If you mean plugging the male-to-male cable into the adapter and plugging the adapter into your phone, it might work, but I wouldn't count on the USB port working at all, mine only reads the SD card slot.

I'm pretty sure he's correct. I have a 64GB SanDisk SDHC that I formatted using my SLR, and the Tab won't read it with this adapter. It says unsupported file system. I then hooked up the 64GB SD to my phone (Note 2) using an adapter and it worked great.

I found the card reader usless.It worked only once in 14 trys. I sent it back and use my phone scanner. It works all the time.

Yes. Worked fine fie me. Was able to read and copy JPEG files from my SD card.

Yes it will read micro-sd cards. Either with the adapter or the slot designated for the micro card.

That was my reason for purchasing this device also. I have successfully viewed and transferred photos from the SD card onto my Galaxy Note 2 however it sounds like some phones may not support this feature. I did not need to download any additional apps and there is no power supply needed. (The phone must be charged.) I insert the SD card into the slot on the device and then plugged the device into my phone. The phone automatically launched the "My Files" app (that is part of the operating system) and showed me the directories on the SD card. Once I opened the directory with the photos, I could select individual photos or all files and copy or move them to a new location or upload them to a cloud storage service such as Dropbox or Google Drive.

I'm guessing you can. I've haven't tried it but whenever I plug in my Android phone (GS4) it says it's been plugged into a computer and I can share my files with it as if it was my desktop so you should be able to plug in the card reader.

the Small tablets have their limits what we wanted from this device worked. What you ask me we didn't try that, I have a hunch it will but slowly and if you have cheaper SD's it will have problems. The technology isn't as great as the industry would like us to believe. I've been in this a long time and when you get out on the fringes as you and I like to do it has glitches in it at times. I hope that answers some of your question. to sum it up 'Most likely if you have better or the best SD cards, otherwise you will have glitches. It will be slow.'

Yes. That's what I'm using now. But you must use the adapter; micro SD by itself won't work.

A CF card plugs into this. It would be interesting to see if stacking adapters (PCMCIA>CF>SD) would work.

I had also hoped it would be able to do this, but according to the manual, the sd slot is for still jpegs only (p. 75: "you can play and copy still pictures taken on a digital camera"). pfft! I suppose its better than nothing, but you can do the same with your computer and a cheap card reader-writer (under $15.00).

With today's computer you have a plethora of options. My laptop will read the card, it's an SD card not a phone SIM card. I purchased other versions of this gamecam and the version sold by Amazon is almost bulletproof. Older versions, NOT. Also mine has a mini USB port.
