A cellular phone in which a data storage means can be installed while meeting the requirements for a compact and lightweight design, imposed on the cellular phone, different types of batteries are selectively used on the basis that a battery used in the cellular phone is removable. That is, when a data storage means is to be additionally provided in the cellular phone, a battery having such a specially designed structure that can be installed together with a data storage memory in the cellular phone, is used with the cellular phone. When the cellular phone should preferentially be compact and lightweight, a standard battery conforming to the compact design requirement is used with the cellular phone.
