The invention relates to a method of saving personal data contained in a mobile terminal, such as a mobile telephone terminal. The aforementioned terminal comprises a central unit which is associated with a memory element, data input means and data display means. According to the invention, the terminal is provided with an RFID transmission/reception device and, separately, the terminal is also provided with an RFID tag which contains an identification memory element and a working memory element and which can enter into short-range wireless communication with the transmission/reception device. In addition, when personal data are being created or modified in the terminal using the data input means, corresponding data are entered in the working memory of the tag once the identity of said tag has been verified.
