The photos are stored on the phone's internal memory, not the SIM. The SIM usually has enough capacity to hold few hundred phone numbers and SMS messages. Most phones use the OBEX protocol, [1] that works over serial, USB, IrDA and Bluetooth to import/export images and sounds. There are few free software tools for that protocol (aptitude search obex). I think Wammu also uses OBEX to fetch such data. Wammu (and the OBEX tools) need port type and speed configurations. There are configurations for some phones at the Wammu project web page. [2] Maybe the one you have is listed there. There is a free software program for Windows, that can save all kind of phone data, called FMA. [3] It might be helpful, but i think it is deprecated or outdated. It might even work with WINE.

If you are able to boot the phone, Bluetooth should work even without active service. GNOME's Bluetooth applet could browse files on phones (over OBEX). Hope this helps. Good luck.
