A method is disclosed for operating a telecommunications system. The method includes a first step of providing at least one mobile station and a telecommunications network that are bidirectionally coupled together through a radio link. The mobile station includes a first memory, referred to as a Short Code Memory (SCM), for storing at least user-specified information. A first step of transmitting transmits at least some of the contents of the first memory from the mobile station to the telecommunications network, and a first step of receiving receives the transmitted contents of the first memory and stores at least some of the received contents in a second memory. A second step of transmitting transmits contents of the second memory from the telecommunications network to the mobile station, and a second step of receiving receives the transmitted contents of the second memory and stores at least some of the received contents in the first memory. In one embodiment of this invention the second memory is associated with an Over-the-Air Activation Function (OATF), while in a second embodiment the second memory is associated with a Short Message Service (SMS) Cellular Messaging Teleservice (CMT) Message Center (MC). In this manner the SCM contents are archived at the network level, and can be subsequently downloaded to the same or a different mobile station to restore the contents of the SCM.
