Abstract
Abstract In a mobile communication system, each mobile terminal as well as the base station are provided with a registration memory for storing abbreviated dialing data which comprises at least one pair of an abbreviated number and an identification number corresponding to the abbreviated number. The abbreviated dialing data is stored into the registration memory of a first mobile terminal by the user operating a keypads The stored abbreviated dialing data is transferred from the first mobile terminal to the base station. When a second mobile terminal requests the abbreviated dialing data stored in the base station, the base station transmits the abbreviated dialing data to the second mobile terminal. In this manner, the abbreviated dialing data is transferred from a mobile terminal to the base station and then from the base station to another mobile terminal.
