Sending MP3 files directly from one handset to another, is the quickest and easiest way to swap audio files. Before the introduction of phones with Bluetooth or SD cards, the only way to send music files to a cell phone was with a PC. There are now several ways that you can send music from one phone to another, without having to hassle with data cords or software.
