I guess it will depend upon the phone but it is likely to be either flash 
or SD.

My new(ish) phone has a 64M flash chip and an adapter. I've not used the 
adapter as I can use a USB connection directly to the phone which is 
easier.

Check the manual for the phone. It will contain the information.
