Abstract
The system accepts a Short Message System data packet transmitted from a cell site to a mobile station and updates the contents of an address book located in a non-volatile RAM within the mobile station. Upon the occurrence of an event, such as a change in the area code, the system automatically updates the phone book so that a person does not have to perform the tedious task of determining which exchange prefixes within an area code have been affected and then manually updating large numbers of address book entries.
