Just go to walmart and look for a usb cable that fits/works with a sliver and you can transfer files over.

That's not entirely true. All carriers (so far as I know) request that the manufacturer lock out certain features in the phones, particularly Motorola phones. The reasoning behind doing this is business-related:
Your carrier would rather have you log onto the phone's internet side and download ringtones and graphics and such for "small fees," instead of you putting them on yourself. It also reduces the likelihood that you're going to accidentally screw up your phone by porting software and files to and from it, thereby reducing warranty claims and returns. I worked in corporate wireless for 6 years - trust me - carriers LOVE to lock out features so that you're forced to use their network features so they can charge you.
The solution is to is to acquire the software to hex-edit the phone's "seam," or the non-protected segment of memory, to enable features. This is typically incredibly complicated. Most Motorola phones will require a specific data cable, as well as both the "Motorola Phone Tools" and "Motorola PST" software programs. Drivers, which recognize your phone as a device, are also required.
The following link is to a site that contains TONS of phone editing information. I spent hours researching and studying their How-To guides before I was finally able to enable bluetooth, movies, file storage, and tons of other things on my Motorola E815 from Verizon. Be warned though - tinkering with your phone will instantly void your warranty.
