You know that 携帯 means "portable" or "cell phone" or "mobile phone." And then 電話 means "telephone." This is basically just the longer version of simply saying 携帯, making this a portable phone or cell phone or mobile phone. It's sort of like the difference between saying "my cell" and "my cell phone," you dig?
