    My mobile phone died recently, and I wonder if there’s a way to access the stuff saved on there, that doesn’t cost an absolute fortune.
    I know it’s a long shot, and expect the answer to be “no” but I can ask for nothing, I guess..

    low cost: no. Or you have luck and find an enthusiast.
    Or you have a SD card in the phone?
    Hint for future: make frequently backups.

    A dead phone can turn a normal day stressful pretty fast. I’ve learned the hard way to carry backup cables and keep battery health in mind. During one trip I relied on a spare SIM from H2O Wireless https://h2o-wireless.pissedconsumer.com/review.html, which honestly saved me when my main phone stopped working. Since then I’m more careful about backups. Community troubleshooting tips are usually more practical than official guides. Sometimes the fix is surprisingly simple. Always worth checking basic steps first.
