A method of managing the operation of a mobile telephone in a telecommunications network, the method being of the type in which the mobile terminal is designed to operate selectively in a telephone call mode or in a navigator mode, and of the type in which display means, forming part of the mobile terminal or connected to the mobile terminal, are suitable for displaying a service data page formatted by a sequence of instructions in a language adapted to service data, the service data page giving access to at least one service. In the method, a 'preferred' mobile terminal operating mode is selected for implementing a service by incorporating a preferred mode selection instruction in the sequence of instructions for the service data page giving access to the service. Preferably, the navigator mode uses wireless application protocol (WAP), and the language adapted to service data is taken from the extensible markup language (XML) family, and in particular is wireless markup language (WML). In a variant, the language adapted to service data is hypertext markup language (HTML) or a language derived therefrom.

A method of storing in a packet attributes associated with an object corresponding to a class that is part of an inheritance tree, each class in the inheritance tree including a storage method including an index parameter, includes the following steps: calling storage methods of parent classes, if any, incrementing the index parameter, placing a first free address in the packet into the packet at an address determined by the index parameter, and copying attributes of a current class into the packet from the first free address with an identifier of the current class. The storage method calls the storage method of the corresponding class with a null value of the index parameter.
