A cellular or wireless mobile handset includes a processor configured with software to monitor time, date, location and other parameters, and change customization settings, known as themes, based upon the monitored parameter. Multiple themes may be stored on the mobile handset and implemented by the mobile handset processor based upon a variety of circumstances. A theme server may be accessed by the mobile handset to download theme settings and files. Working together, mobile handsets and a theme server can provide location-specific as well as time/date specific themes to mobile handsets.

Methods and devices are presented for sharing contact information amongst wireless communication devices using Short Message Service (SMS) communication. SMS transfer of contact information occurs seamlessly, in that the sender automatically generates and sends a SMS message(s) that includes the contact information upon designating a contact file for sharing and supplying a recipient identifier, such as the recipient phone number. On the recipient device end, receiving the contact information also may occur seamlessly, such that the contact information can be automatically stored in the recipient's phone book or, in some aspects, automatically stored in the recipient's phone book based a user setting or response.
