Abstract
The invention is concerned with a system for file management in a mobile network. The network has one or more mobile terminals having a memory with saved file information and a central database containing information to be updated. The system has means for requesting a change in the files of the mobile terminal(s) and means for updating new information in the files of the mobile terminal(s). A request for a change to be made in the files of the mobile terminal is sent to the central database which updates its information on the basis of the request. The new information is then sent from the central database to the files of the defined mobile terminals.
