METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DATA TRANSFER FROM A CELLULAR-COMMUNICATIONS-DEVICE APPLICATION TO A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an information-transfer system that operates within a cell phone. The information-transfer system includes a data-transfer application that, prior to displaying a user interface with a call feature that allows a user to invoke a cell-phone application to place a phone call, places information to transfer to the cell-phone application in an information block for transfer to the cell-phone application. The information-transfer system further includes the cell-phone application, which receives the information block, extracts, from the information block, data for transfer to a telecommunications network, and transfers the extracted data to the telecommunications network.
