Abstract

A cellular telephone back up and media system that is structured for use with a cellular telephone of the type having an input structure and an internal memory on which a quantity of personal data is maintained. The back up and media system includes a memory module which contains a quantity of information and an external transfer module communicatively connected with the cellular telephone and defining an interface via which the memory module is communicatively connected with the internal memory of the cellular telephone. Transferring programming is further provided and is structured to direct the transfer of the personal information from the cellular telephone to the memory module as well as the transfer of information from the memory module to the internal memory of the cellular telephone.
