I have two file recovery programs.

Image Rescue by Lexar since it came with my hi-end cards for my camera.

Recuva by Piriform

The important part is not no use the card so that no files get overwritten.

Did you really delete the pictures off the card? Or, was the card encrypted by a previous phone for security purposes, which means that only that phone can see the card's contents?
